Dioptase with Calcite
specimen number:
2451070
location:
Tsumeb Mine, Otjikoto, Namibia
description: Incredibly lustrous translucent deep green crystals of dioptase to 0.7 cm in size scattered beautifully over the front of a 7.5 x 5.5 x 5.0 cm calcite crystal covered matrix. Light green duftite present as well. Micro-chipping present along one edge, this on the upper right side of the specimen. All of the prominent crystals in outstanding condition. The piece sits beautifully by itself for display and I feel that condition to be very good. The color contrast makes for a very showy piece. Ex Jordi Povill collection.
Size: 7.5 x 5.5 x 5.0 cm (small-cabinet)
