Item Description
This is a beautiful small miniature from Tsumeb. The duftite is like pistachio green sugar and it is a nice reference specimen for the species here. Additional dioptase does not look like the dark green ones, but occurs as gemmy, transparent greenish-blue crystals, although they are quite small. White calcite makes a remarkable contrast, and colors just work well together. Nothing significant, but it IS a very very cute specimen for a Tsumeb combo. Ex. Mary Perry, Jingnan (Tom) Zhang Coll.
