Item Description
An adorable and desirable dioptase and calcite combination from famed Tsumeb. Three, intergrown, gemmy, highly lustrous, rich emerald-green dioptase crystals, to 1.3 cm, are beautifully set atop the mounded matrix of tiny calcite rhombs. The two smaller dioptase crystals below are a super accent. Certainly one of the finest miniatures we have offered at auction. A classic and the crystals are pristine. Valued at $700-800.
