Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique example of dioptase and goethite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen consists of a striking
combination of jet-black goethite with brilliant, gemmy emerald green dioptase crystals and sharp
calcite rhombs!!! The matrix consists of a cluster of calcite crystals that have been
partially covered with a brilliantly lustrous blanket of jet-black, botryoidal crystals as well as a second
generation of calcite rhombs and sharp, gemmy, emerald green dioptase crystals!!! The combination is
quite striking in person!!! Unique material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection
of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection
of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
