Dioptase, Shattuckite and Primary Malachite

Item Description

Words and pics cannot adequately describe how showy and pretty this large cabinet piece really is. The piece has three pockets, which range in size from 2.5 cm to 8 cm. The 2.5 cm and 4 cm pockets are exclusively deep-green Dioptases that are up to 1 cm in size. Both pockets are very attractive. The largest pocket is a combination Dioptase, Shattuckite, Quartz, and Barite. The lustrous Dioptases in this pocket also range up to 1 cm, the velvety blue Shattuckite is in balls about .2 cm up to open pockets up to 1.4 cm, and gemmy deep-amber Barite. The Quartz is in small, sharp crystals. Although there is damage to the surface of the piece, the overall sparkle and aesthetics of the pockets are impactful and appealing.
