Dioptase with Duftite-Conichalcite$4,000.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
An excellent small cabinet specimen of beautifully crystallised Dioptase with Conichalcite and Duftite from Tsumeb mine in the Oshikoto Region of Namibia. Intergrown lustrous crystals of rich emerald green Dioptase cover the display face over a layer of light apple green, mixed Conichalcite and Duftite. The largest Dioptase crystals measure to 1.3 cm, forming superb sharp crystals with a brilliant glassy lustre and a translucent outer shell. Beneath this, incident light is scattered from internal reflective surface with an appearance of crumped emerald green metallic foil. A later deposition of Dioptase has formed over the micro-crystals of Conichalcite and Duftite. The long and narrow matrix is a creamy Dolomite mixed with reddish Goethite. A stunning example of Dioptase, aesthetically contrasting against the paler green shades of the two arsenates.
