Dioptase with Cerussite

Item Description

Good Dioptase specimens are always in demand, and the pieces from the Kaokoveld Plateau are some of the best modern-day Dioptase specimens out there. This beautiful thumbnail specimen features sharp, lustrous, fine emerald green, gemmy trigonal crystals of Dioptase with smoky Cerussite on the back. Good shape all around, and the association is certainly rare for the locality. The largest Dioptase crystal measures 1.9 cm, and some of the crystals are nearly WATER CLEAR when backlit.
