New find of Dioptase crystals with white Willemite crystals from near Mindouli. The Dioptase crystals occur on one side of the white Calcite matrix. The other side is covered by white Willemite crystals. The Willemite are a bright yellow under UV lighting. This is a rare combination that I've only seen previously from Tsumeb. Valued at $250+.
