Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green, dioptase crystals richly and attractively cover the vuggy matrix coated with complimentary calcite on this showy CABINET combination specimen from Tsumeb. Bruising and periphery wear are noted and shown in the photos, but this remains a highly representative and dramatic large example with sheer size and color appeal, from this renowned closed locale. Ex Zukowski Collection.
