Bright and Sparkly Dioptase and Calcite From Tsumeb

 Here is a very nice and bright specimen that is covered with small Dioptase and Calcite crystals.  It is on a darker matrix than normal, so the crystals appear as a dark emerald green color, nice!  The specimen measures 4.4 X 3.5  X 1.8cm.  Good Luck!  My next show is the West Coast Mineral and Fossil show in room 113 at the Holiday Inn on Bristol Street in Costa Mesa on November 13 - 15th.  I should have several new Benitoite specimens, including some real show stoppers thanks to my latest travels!  After that I am done with shows until Tucson, so there will be much etching and cleaning as I prepare for the yearly ritual in Tucson!  I should also be updating my website soon with a number of specimens from former Benitoite Gem Mine co-owner Buzz Gray.
