Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of dioptase from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts a particularly large
crystal of dioptase in association with several other intergrown dioptase crystals and prominently perched on a small amount of matrix!!!
The crystals have razor sharp faces, bright glassy luster, gemmy clarity, and stunning emerald green color!!! The crystals
are undamaged and range in size to nearly 1.7cm!!! In person, the crystals are quite dynamic and show a lot of electric-emerald green
fire within!!! There is a small amount of lime green
duftite present on the matrix as well!!! Simply gorgeous 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!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY OCTOBER 4th!!!
