Description

Sharp jet black crystals of graphite proudly crop out of white spatic calcite. Excellent metallic lustre for the graphite and the best possible color contrast with the calcite matrix, which is locally transparent and shows a number of other graphite crystals still 'buried' underneath.
Very representative for this Namibian locality. From the former stock of the late renowned Italian collector and dealer Bruno Cerato.
