Item Description

Gemmy, lustrous, rich emerald-green dioptase prisms, to 1.0 cm, are beautifully and dramatically clustered along the matrix plate covered with tiny calcite rhombs. This remarkable and desirable combination has outstanding sculptural quality. The crystal presentation, separation and isolation are very noteworthy. Pristine. A true Tsumeb classic. Valued at $2000-2500.
