Collector Mineral Specimens of Dioptase for Sale from Kaokoveld, Omaue, Namibia

Gigantic dioptase crystal! Over the last year or so malachite and shattuckite have been coming from 
this locality but little dioptase until a small handful of newly mined pieces surfaced a few months ago 
reaching a length I have not yet seen. Photos say it all, a near floater rich in deep emerald-green color 
measuring 4.3 x 1 cm in size, collect miniatures? then this damage free single crystal approaching the 
near maximum size for the species would highlight your showcase for sure! Superb!

Great doubly terminated azure-blue crystal of 3 cm tall and 1.7 cm across projects from typical 
pale pink dolomite. The color intensity from dark to light is unreal with the backside mimicking the 
front in a 3 dimensional sculptural form. Azurites also are isolated from the surrounding matrix which 
allow stark contrast, aesthetically positioned, a must see. No damage.

Stunningly good prism from a limited new find of rich deep emerald-green color within this dioptase 
measuring 3.2 x 1 cm in overall size, very full thumbnail/toenail of perhaps the most sought after 
copper species. Rarely do we see long crystals from any locality, wonderful elongated shape...
aesthetic!

Colorful arrangement of saturated blood-red hexagonal vanadinites sit perched in the upper portion 
of this small cabinet with microscopic snow-white calcite or aragonite on gossan matrix, size of 
individual crystals are 1.6 cm across. When these species are together you can see how it makes 
for a striking combo! Gorgeous showy piece with a high level of quality.

Excellent intersecting mirror bright doubly terminated azurites rest in a cross like fashion of the style 
known from the famous mine although very hard to find. The crystals have it all; luster, color, balance 
and no damage. Clearly a noteworthy small miniature of the kind seldom available. Part of the lower 
right corner is velvet green malachite the result of natural chemical action.

This deeply striated flat and thin large crystal from Africa is beautiful, look at this thing! Such rich 
glowing lime-green color, yes it's just as vivid in hand. We rarely see examples on matrix if ever as 
the mineralized rock is usually porous and unstable not to mention ugly. Both sides are shown in the 
images above. Splendid tremolite exhibiting a fine undamaged termination and prism faces, several 
are undeveloped shards from the area.

Two views of distinct azure-blue color zoning in an attractive "V" like placement of crystals. The 
common copper carbonate was recovered over a decade ago by the miners and just now surfacing 
again from a private collection. Chiseled terminations add appeal as well.

Very fine red cloud wulfenite. Well exposed transparent "windowpanes" up to 1 cm across stand sticking 
out of the center portion of brown limonite matrix. What appears to be damage isn't, nothing more than a 
crystallized contact typically seen from the mine. Fair price.

Nicely mounted long slender rich blue crystal measuring 3.2 cm in length. Today specimens are rare 
from the area, part of the value with pieces from the mine is the high level of quality making this one 
a worthwhile pick. I wouldn't expect to find another in this size for a better asking price, so if you have 
been searching for the right piece look no further, here is your azurite.

Tsumeb! Some of the wulfenites have this neat butterscotch hue as well as wide bevelled edges, 
uniquely different as such minerals are the norm from here, main crystal is 1.5 cm tall. Very classy 
with quartz too. For the two stated qualities along with infinite reasons why it's safe to assume 
specimens will remain valuable from this justifiably famous mine!

Incredible gleaming high luster electric-blue azurites sit crossing one another as a full toenail, 3.1 
x 3 cm. A vague description cannot convey the magnificent level of quality when held in hand, absolutely 
pristine! Minor amount of pretty oxidized matrix. In good condition, a must see.

Great semitransparent striated twin of rich red color and tabular form, 1.6 x 1.4 cm. Unparalleled luster 
when rotated in hand along with striking coloration for the species from the well-known pegmatites.

Super intersecting deep rich blue doubly terminated azurites rest in a cross like fashion of the style 
known from the famous mine although very hard to find. The crystals have it all; luster, color, shape 
and uniqueness. Clearly a noteworthy small miniature of the kind seldom available.

This is another semitransparent flattened tabular crystal of rich red color, 1.5 x 1.1 cm. Unparalleled 
luster when rotated in hand along with striking coloration for the species.

Another translucent striated dark rich red crystal of tabular form, 1.4 x 0.8 cm. Unparalleled luster 
when rotated in hand along with strong coloration for the species, choice thumbnail.
