Dioptase, Calcite, Smithsonite, Copper, Duftite
Tsumeb Mine
Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia
5.7 cm x 4.6 cm x 4.2 cm
Out of an old collection, come this beautiful multi mineral specimen from the long closed Tsumeb Mine.
This specimen was purchase sometime between the 1970s to 1982.
Beautiful gemmy emerald green dioptase crystals,
sit on a copper based matrix covered with crystals of Calcite, Smithsonite, and minor Duftite.
Only one slight ding on a front facing crystal and one on the top backside that I can see.
A really stunning specimen!
