Item Description

A very nifty and aesthetic Tsumeb combination miniature from the 2nd Oxidation Zone at Tsumeb. Stacked calcite rhombs are preferentially coated with small gemmy emerald-green dioptase crystals. Some of the rhomb faces are cleaved, but this remains an extremely showy and desirable example of the combination from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
