Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, deep emerald-green dioptase crystals to 1.2 cm aesthetically and totally cover this elongated, very showy and classic miniature from Tsumeb. There is a mostly hidden layer of tiny sparkly micro calcite rhombs under the dioptases. Essentially pristine, with only one gently bruised crystal along the top. A fine two-sided piece.
