S23944 – Dioptase

Exceptional display of dioptase pops an energetic and radiant green set off all the more by contrasting calcite. An excellent specimen from this famous source for fine dioptase. Ex Rosa Nowels collection

S18572 – Dioptase

An aesthetically complex, delicately crystallized, small cabinet of quality dioptase, with crystals in a line on top of white calcite. Crystals are basically dark teal green “sculptures” sitting neatly in an upright position, just the way some collectors like it! Perfect. Hand selected from thousands, this specimen is especially fine.

S18352 – Barite

This collection of minerals is uncommon in such quality and we have become accustomed to just the dioptase from Kaokoveld, however, this is much more rare. Barite is an unusual mineral associated with dioptase from this locality and the two minerals provide a pleasing contrast of colors, plus such a specimen is the No. 1 spot for the association. The barite itself is 2.2 cm and surprisingly complete without damage. Ex. Bolyard collection
