Item Description

Gemmy, lustrous, rich emerald-green dioptase crystals to 9 mm are richly and aesthetically strewn on the starkly contrasting calcite rhomb matrix. A bit of periphery wear to the dioptase crystals is certainly a modest detraction. It displays well from both sides. An excellent example of one of the most classic Tsumeb combinations.
