Item Description

Nice cluster of two generations of sharp, lustrous Dioptases from Kaokoveld. The first generation consists of three parallel, 2 cm crystals that are pristine on the presentation side and contacted on the back. Draped over the top are dozens of .3 cm Dioptases that follow the termination, then majestically (in their own Lilliputian way) rise above. All the Dioptases are classic deep green, lustrous, and gemmy (you can see the green fire with the right lighting). A very good, representative thumbnail with fine aesthetics.
