Dioptase w/ Calcite

Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green dioptase crystals to 8 mm are festooned on all sides, except the base, of the cute mounded matrix. The matrix is peppered with tiny glassy calcite rhombs for a very nice accent. Scattered crystal bruising is noted, but certainly not to excess. The primary viewing face is in very good shape. Classic Tsumeb.
