Dioptase in Calcite with Calcite

Item Description

A very fine, highly representative example of dioptase and calcite from this famous Arizona locale. This showy piece features discrete sprays of pretty, turquoise-green, dioptase microcrystals, flattened calcite rhombs included with dioptase and glassy calcite rhombs with no dioptase. You get the complete spectrum of dioptase and calcite on one beautifully striking specimen! Classic older material. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!! The camera could not capture the true color of the dioptase. Ex R. Wallace Knapp Collection.
