Item Description

An unusual and colorful Dioptase cluster from this classic locality with two hues of green contrasting: A stunning, 2.3 cm, doubly terminated, multihued Dioptase crystal is accompanied by other Dioptase crystals on this elegant miniature from Tsumeb. The sharp, highly lustrous, gemmy, translucent crystals display a very rich emerald-green color and they are lightly sprinkled and moderately included with contrasting, tiny light green spheres of Mottramite adding a striking color contrast with extreme visual appeal. This is a very unique and attractive Conichalcite-studded Dioptase from Tsumeb! Ex. Shields & Frances Flynn collection.
