Dioptase on Cerussite (twinned)

Item Description

While there have been some specimens combining the two famous species of Dioptase and Cerrusite from Kaokoveld, this is the best yet that I have seen. The Dioptases have a great, attractive variegated green color, and they are either well-terminated or contacted. With the Dioptases is actually a heart-twin Cerussite that is a full 2.4 cm tall. The Cerussite has a very good, silver-grey color and nice pearly luster. Some of the Dioptase crystals have suffered some damage, but the overall piece still maintains attractiveness and importance, and a highly unusual combination. valued $750-900
