Item Description

Good Dioptase specimens are always in demand, and the pieces from the Kaokoveld Plateau are some of the best modern-day Dioptase specimens out there. This beautiful thumbnail specimen features sharp, lustrous, fine emerald green, gemmy trigonal crystals on Dioptase in an eye-catching "burst"-shape. Only minor damage, but the shimmering color along with the "wet" luster and gemminess make up for it.
