A very nice three-sided combination miniature from the Tsumeb Mine. The mounded piece is totally covered on one side with super-sparkly, gemmy, emerald-green dioptase crystals. The dioptase crystals are nicely discrete on the other side and are beautifully accented by a 6 mm calcite rhomb. This side and the base reveal the silky luster, pink cobaltoan smithsonite botryoids of the matrix. Two sides are further accented with contrasting pastel-green duftite. Ex. Wes Parker Collection.
