Item Description

A large, 1.8 cm, dioptase crystal dominates the cluster of gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green crystals, that lines the narrow vug in calcite crystal-rich matrix. The large crystal does have a contact on one edge, but there is no damage, per se. An attractive, showy and highly representative miniature with a large dioptase crystal from Tsumeb and the Howard Belsky Collection.
