Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of dioptase and wulfenite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts numerous crystals of
gemmy, intense emerald green dioptase in association with an intense, lemon yellow crystal of wulfenite - all perched on a
matrix lined with lively green duftite and tiny, sparkly calcite rhombs as well as numerous duftite after wulfenite
pseudomorphs!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see that there are a few more small, almost colorless
crystals of wulfenite present as well!!! Although there is an area of contacted or incomplete dioptase crystals, this is
an extraordinary combination and displays stunningly in person!!! The duftite after wulfenite pseudomorphs have been
selectively covered with tiny calcite rhombs on one side as well!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 6th!!!
