Dioptase, Calcite and Mottramite (rare combo) Belsky Coll.

Item Description

Combination specimens of dioptase, calcite and mottramite are rare from Tsumeb. The front of this very fine piece is covered with classic, gemmy and lustrous, rich emerald-green dioptase crystals of top quality. The reverse of the plate is totally different! Glassy, sharp, calcite rhombs and just a few dioptase crystals are scattered on a rich covering of tufted sprays of pretty light mint-green, acicular mottramite crystals. An extremely fine and colorful example of these Tsumeb species in rare combination. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
