Dioptase

Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, rich emerald-green, dioptase crystals to 1.5 cm cover the undulating matrix on this striking specimen from Tsumeb. The sharp crystals really glow under good light! The crystal density and coverage on this piece is exceptional. The periphery wear on this excellent specimen is noted, but this remains a very highly representative and extremely rich example of the species and famed locale. This would be a $4000-5000 piece, if perfect. Fairly valued as is, at $1000-1500
