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 miniature specimen features a fantastic, twisting pseduo-"Gwindel"-esque group of sharp, lustrous, fine emerald green, translucent trigonal crystals of Dioptase. Good shape overall, no real damage that I can see on the display side, but the piece is contacted on the back. Showy, attractive and hard to find in bigger crystals like this from the Christoph Mine.
