Dioptase on Calcite

Tsumeb, Namibia

.85" x .8" x .43"

2.25cm x 2cm x 1.2cm

Ex. Wolfgang Pohl Collection #144


Description/Interesting Notes:

A terrific example of dioptase on calcite from Tsumeb!!! This specimen hosts numerous emerald green dioptase crystals that form a trail along the edge of a small calcite covered matrix and dramatically punctuate in a large single crystal at the top!!! The pics say it all, and its even better in person!!! Wolfgang Pohl worked in the mining industry in Namibia in the 70s and 80s and was a prolific collector and dealer during and after this time!!! He would make trips back and forth to his native Germany trading specimens he had acquired in Africa for worldwide specimens!!! Pohl was rather meticulous with his labeling and record keeping with most of the specimens in the collection having catalogue numbers, label with info on locale, source/dealer info, acquisition date, and any other relevant notes!!! However, the most interesting feature is that most of the labels also had a small sketch of the specimen on the reverse side as well!!! I will be listing many exciting specimens from this collection, in addition to the usual and far ranging array of specimens, in the upcoming weeks - so don't miss out!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 24th!!!
