Item Description
Dioptase from the mid-1980s Tsumeb finds is now quite hard to come by in large specimens. This beautiful cabinet piece has a large display face with a pocket of crystals to 4 mm, in rock matrix. Although there is some peripheral damage, the core pocket is intact and beautiful. Specimens like this would be expected to price at $1500-2000 on the open market, in my opinion.
