Calcite, Malachite

Locality: Tsumeb Mine (Tsumcorp Mine), Tsumeb, Otjikoto Region (Oshikoto), Namibia

An elongated rhombohedral crystal cyclically twinned with a second generation of druise and a third generation of clear axially oriented growth. A small nodule of malachite at the bottom, but the color appears a bit too blue to be caused by the malachite, so perhaps conichalcite inclusions(?). Anyone with information relative to this find (level, pocket size, specimens recovered, etc) please contact me! Dimensions are 8cm X 4.5cm X 3.8cm .
