BR634. Dioptase, calcite, duftite?. Tsumeb mine, Tsumeb, Namibia. 5 x 4 x 2 cm $975.00 A very nice example of the famous Tsumeb dioptase from early 1980s finds, showing the almost electric green shimmer of classic Tsumeb style at its best. Even better in person, as dioptase is hard to photograph. A really cute piece & I think, nicely priced for these, these days. |

BR636. Dioptase. Brazzaville (Reneville), Republic of the Congo. A 3 cm single crystal with some smaller attached. $300.00 Complete on the font, but partially incomplete on the back. Very large crystal for the locality. Small ding on back of termination To paraphrase the description of one identical to this one "A dramatic lustrous and gemmy Dioptase crystal from one of the world's premier localities, the old Reneville locality in Congo. The Dioptase crystal has a, mirror-like luster, and a gorgeous deep green color. The crystal can flash that blazing green fire when the light catches it just right. Even better in person, as dioptase is hard to photograph. Before Tsumeb dioptase was found, these were the world's best - and the few specimens at the top of the quality range such as this, remain among the best of species. However, they are rarely seen on the market today. It holds its own! " I took numerous photos from all sides trying to get the 3 dimensional look it deserves. Ex Mineralogical Research |
