Dioptase Crystal Plate, Tsumeb Mine, Namibia CHOICE!

A large plate of Dioptase crystals completely covering matrix. The piece presents at least two stages of mineralization, with an earlier phase of larger, emerald-green crystal formation followed by secondary, teal-blue-green drusy mineralization localized along linear fractures. The largest crystal measures a very respectable 9mm. This is a super sparkly, uncommonly large piece that will light up your collection. Sourced directly from notable Tsumeb collector Clive Queit almost forty years ago and has been uncirculated in a private collection ever since. Mr. Quiet would wait for the miners at the mine exit during shift change to acquire the choicest pieces. Size: 68x50x27 mm.
