Dioptase on Shattuckite & Malachite after Shattuckite

Kaokoveld Plateau, Kunene Region, Namibia

3.2cm x 2cm x 1.6cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A unique and aesthetic example of dioptase, shattuckite and malachite from Namibia!!! This speimen consists of a striking shattuckite epimorph that hosts a group or pristine, jewel-like crystals of dioptase and an area that has been replaced by lively green malachite!!! This specimen is WAY better than the pics show - it is a particularly showy and aesthetic combo and displays stunningly in person!!! The shattuckite is present as a botryoidal epimorph of an unidentified species - the underlying angular forms and overall three-dimensional nature are much more pronounced in person!!! The shattuckite has gorgeous blue color and a rich velvety appearance!!! There is an area of the shattuckite that has been replaced by malachite that has a uniquely crystallized appearance (this is actual pseudomorphism, not a simple malachite overgrowth!)!!! The dioptase crystals are razor-sharp, brilliantly glassy, gemmy, and have gorgeous intense emerald green color!!! This specimen is in magnificent condition and displays gorgeously 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!!!
