duftite with calcite and dioptase.

The green on this specimen is just gorgeous and the calcite makes it positively sparkle. Close inspection reveals two green minerals, what I assume to be duftite and a second more gemmy mineral which by the way it has bled into the calcite speaks of it being dioptase. Of course it could be mottramite the variety of green from the location is immense. However I have it on authority from a few local experts that with out chemical analysis anyone claiming utter certainty is guessing. I would rather just be honest with my clients, what ever it is though its a truly spectacular specimen. Size: 2 x 1½ x 1 inches Price: $90.00 (usd plus shipping and handling)
