A hackly mass of crystalline Native Copper attached to a little Calcite matrix from the Tsumeb mine in Namibia. The copper has been etched out from the original Calcite to reveal a porous network of various intergrown crystal forms, all seen clearly under low magnification. The colour is that of tarnished light chocolate brown copper with occasional dark brown patches. A very rich Native Copper from Tsumeb.
