Ex. Bernd Kletschke Collection
Fine emerald green crystals of Dioptase contrast nicely with the powder blue Plancheite and white Calcite. The lustrous Dioptase almost completely coats one side of the specimen; on the other side it preferentially coats the ridges of the sparkling white Calcite matrix. The Plancheite is very apparent as light blue balls to 1.5mm scattered on the Calcite, it is something of a rarity for Tsumeb. A pleasing aesthetic specimen of Copper Silicates from Tsumeb Mine.
