Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green dioptase crystals to 1.2 cm shockingly and richly cover the sculptural CABINET matrix on this DRAMATIC Tsumeb specimen. The dioptase crystals scintillate with gemmy glassiness. The periphery wear around the edge of this huge vug is a minimal detraction on such a major dioptase specimen. Ex Rob Smith Collection. Fairly valued at $1750-2000 and well worth it. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
