Item Description

Rich and striking, large 2-sided dioptase from Tsumeb. Four sculptural vugs are fully lined with sparkling, gemmy, emerald-green dioptase crystals, to 6 mm. The dioptase crystals of part of the large vug on one side are preferentially coated with oxides, which adds an interesting contrast to this exceptionally rich, classic and artistic large two-sided specimen.
