Item Description
A very nice combination small cabient from the Tsumeb Mine. The piece is totally covered on one side with super-sparkly, gemmy, emerald-green Dioptase crystals. The Dioptase crystals are discretely sprinkled on the underlying white rhombic Calcite along with minor olive-green Duftite. The side of the specimen features a patch of Dioptase with only Duftite. Ex - John Arnaud Collection.
