Item Description
A superlative 1.8 cm, gem, rich emerald-green, doubly terminated dioptase is fantastically set on striking, sculptural cerussite crystal matrix on this stunning combination thumbnail from the Christoph Mine. The V-twin cerussite at the base really accentuates this beautiful piece. The dioptase is very nearly pristine, with only trivial edge wear below the termination. The contact on the right side cerussite and broken dioptase crystals at the base are noted, but certainly have minimal impact to the overall outstanding quality of this combination thumbnail.
