Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green, dioptase crystals to 1.0 cm are aesthetically scattered, mostly along the crest, of the wedge-shaped matrix coated with starkly contrasting sparkly, gray, calcite rhombs. The frontal view is an excellent shape. more dioptase crystals on the back. Excellent and very showy combination material from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
