Item Description

A very cute and VERY RARE dioptase and malachite combination from the famous Tsumeb Mine. Tiny gemmy emerald-green dioptase crystals, to 2 mm, are richly peppered on the undulating matrix crust of nubby malachite botryoids. I have never seen such a combination from Tsumeb and this is an outstanding example. Try to find another.
