Item Description

Glassy, sharp, gem, rich emerald-green dioptase crystals, to 8 mm, are beautifully and aesthetically scattered across the undulating matrix covered with strikingly complimentary sparkly, tiny hematite-tinted calcite rhombs. This is a classic and highly desirable Tsumeb combination and this is a very fine example.
