A RARE and very SHOWY combination specimen from Tsumeb of gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green dioptase crystals tucked into a two-sided vug between calcite crystals coated with lustrous, black heterogenite. Heterogenite is a rare cobalt hydroxide and the coated step-faced and blocky calcite crystals are a very nice feature to this excellent Tsumeb rarity. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
