Item Description

Very gemmy, lustrous, emerald-green dioptase crystals to 1.5 cm aesthetically fill a 4.5 cm sculptural vug in starkly contrasting powder-blue shattuckite matrix from the Koakoveld area, Namibia. These dioptase crystals are as intensely gemmy as the best Tsumeb dioptases. A fine specimen with incredible color contrast, makes this a modern classic. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
