Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of dioptase from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts a broad face that is almost completely covered with
sharp, brilliant, gemmy crystals of intense emerald green dioptase!!! The crystals have terrific, very gemmy clarity
in person!!! Upon close inspection one can see that there are tiny, colorless crystals of calcite scattered about the dioptase
crystals as well!!! Although it is difficult to appreciate from the pics, the crystals are quite sharply defined and
brilliant in person!!!
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!!!
