Dioptase and Calcite, one of the most revered mineral combinations from the revered location of Tsumeb. Lustrous cream rhombs of Calcite appear to have been liberally sprinkled with the sparkling emerald green glitter of Dioptase. The crystals of Dioptase have grown preferentially on the Calcite prism faces and are partly included, giving that classic blue-green glow through the transparent Calcite. This photo does not do this specimen justice, nor does it give the true feeling of its majestic size!
