Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely gorgeous - and rare - combination of dioptase and barite from Namibia!!! This specimen consists of a quartz matrix that
hosts an aestehtic grouping of pristine, gem clear crystals of emerald green dioptase paired with a razor-sharp, gem crystal of
golden barite!!! Examples of barite with dioptase are very unusual and seldom seen from this, or any other locality!!! Both the dioptase and
the barite are gem clear and intensely colored!!! Upon close examination, one can see that there is actually a dioptase crystal
partially included within the barite crystal as well!!! The crystals are
brilliantly lustrous, intensely colored, and has lively play of light within!!! This rare and unusual combo is absolutely 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 SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1st!!!
