Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, rich emerald-green dioptase crystals to about 6 mm are richly and attractively scattered on the starkly contrasting plate of lustrous, translucent, frosted dolomite rhombs. A very desirable combination from this famed locale, as most similar dioptase specimens are on calcite. Ex Art Soregaroli Collection. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
