Item Description
An aesthetic and beautiful combination piece from the famous and now-closed Tsumeb Mine. A 1.1 cm, gemmy and lustrous, rich emerald-green, dioptase crystal with a striking, pointed termination is very juantily set on the sparkly, 3-dimensional, calcite microcrystal matrix. The smaller gem-like dioptases scattered about are a super accent. For the size, this is an outstanding matrix dioptase specimen. Ex Marty Lewadny Collection. Valued $300-400.
