Item Description
Scintillating, gemmy, rich emerald-green dioptase crystals to about 3 mm totally cover the thin undulating calcite crust on this colorful, very showy and excellent example from Tsumeb. The trivial amount of scattered bruising certainly has minimal impact to the overall impressive nature of this classic specimen. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. Valued at $1500-1750. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
