Large, spectacular specimen of Calcite crystals colored green by inclusions of Dioptase, a Tsumeb classic. The specimen is a floater, crystallized on all sides, though the Dioptase inclusions are limited to the front side. The specimen is remarkably free of damage for such a large, old specimen. Individual crystals reach 2.5 cm in size.
