Item Description

Good Dioptase specimens are always in demand, and the pieces from the Kaokoveld Plateau are some of the best modern-day Dioptase specimens out there. This beautiful thumbnail specimen features a predominant, sharp, lustrous, fine emerald green, gemmy, doubly-termianted trigonal crystal of Dioptase with smaller accenting Dioptases and beautiful minor "balls" of Plancheite on both sides. Good shape all around, and the association is certainly attractive.
