Item Description
An impressive 9.0 cm long narrow vug is richly sprinkled with gemmy, emerald-green dioptase crystals to about 4 mm on the lining of starkly contrasting tiny colorless calcite rhombs in the sculptural large matrix. The one spot of noted bruising in the vug is certainly a modest detraction. The piece displays very well without aid. Classic and excellent large Tsumeb combination material.
