Dioptase

Dioptase, 4.7 cm, from the Tsumeb mine, Otjikoto region, Namibia. The post-it included reads: "The first Tsumeb piece I bought was this little number. I paid a $1 for it—when I was still pushing Boy Scouts out of the way for specimens. I paid $26 to have it mounted." Ex James Merrett collection; Tom Spann photo.
