Item Description
A classic, very showy and sculptural combination miniature from Tsumeb. Green dioptase is preferentially included in both large textbook, pristine rhomb and the striking appendage of smaller rhombs. Three faces of the large rhomb and the smaller rhombs have a nifty, sugary coating and inclusions of iron oxides. Two of the large rhomb faces are very glassy, translucent and colorless. A most aesthetic and artistic miniature of this sought-after combination, with many display views.
