Item Description
Scintillating, gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green dioptase crystals to 2 mm carpet the calcite matrix on this showy and classic combo from Tsumeb. The crystal gemminess is exceptional, even for Tsumeb. One small bruise is certainly only a modest detraction to this lovely piece. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and acquired in 1982, when these were coming out. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
