Item Description

A classic and highly desirable older combination miniature from Tsumeb and the Mervyn Ford Collection. Scintillating, gemmy, rich emerald-green dioptase crystals, to 1.0 cm, are aesthetically isolated and clustered on the starkly contrasting bed of very glassy, colorless, calcite rhombs. Essentially pristine, except for trivial periphery wear. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
