Dioptase, Tsumeb Mine, Namibia
Wonderful, glistening specimen of lustrous, translucent, deep teal green crystals sprinkled with sugary white calcite microcrystals. This showcase specimen is in excellent condition. Superb example for the Tsumeb locality which is renowned for its dioptase. Sourced directly from notable Tsumeb collector Clive Queit almost forty years ago, it has been in a private collection ever since. Mr. Queit would wait for the miners at the mine exit during shift change to acquire the choicest pieces. Size: 42x36x21 with the largest crystal 7mm.
