Dioptase & Dolomite Tsumeb Mine, Tsumeb, Oshikoto Region, Namibia "A 4 cm specimen of whiny [sic] green dioptase crystals on small white dolomite crystals with one large dt crystal 24mm on the top of the specimen. Got the specimen from Clive Queit in Tsumeb." - Rock H. Currier Well, we're back up to our normal level of typos. I believe the translation is as follows: "A 4cm specimen of shiny, green Dioptase crystals on (some) small, white Dolomite crystals with one large doubly-terminated (Dioptase) crystal 24mm (long) on the top of the specimen." That's our story and we're sticking to it.
