Dioptase with Plancheite, Calcite
specimen number:
8601063
location:
Tsumeb mine, Otjikoto, Namibia
description:
A superb miniature from this classic locality with think deep lustrous emerald green translucent crystal of dioptase 1.2 cm in height coming off a crystallized calcite matrix accented beautifully with light blue crystallized plancheite. Numerous other smaller dioptase crystals present as well. I think in very good condition, this is quite aesthetic.
