#MinCup25 #Dioptase *CROMCH*
Dioptase and malachite by Louis Verschuren. From Tsumeb in Namibia. It looks like deep emerald crystals having Forbidden Broccoli growing over the top right side. Something that looks like a slice of some quiche or pie the Brits favour, with the golden brown crust visible more on the right and top of it. Inside it there is as if either the dioptase teal green vegetable filling, or someone having made Forbidden Jelly marmalade of dioptase, and stuffed that inside the pie crust instead. Mmm, pie. Cronch pie. Broccoli-ish looking green Dioptase from Renéville Mine, Kindanba District, Republic of the Congo. Saved from some Singaporean Etsy page. Rhodochrosite or magnesium carbonate that looks like a tiny smoked ham. Browned crust otherwise and sliced bit on the left showing the red meat inside. It's a lot like the crust of the forbidden pie in the previous image. From Sarah A. Hill's Yummy Rocks page, but she didn't know its source either.
