Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, rich emerald-green dioptase crystals cover the sculptural matrix on this showy and classic Tsumeb specimen. Crystals reach 1.5 cm on this piece. Sparkly, drusy micro dolomites are a nice accent. Bruising and periphery wear are noted on one end, but this remains a highly representative example with gemmy, larger than average crystals.
