Item Description
Superb luster, beautiful deep-green color, and dramatic contrasts are but three of the characteristics that show why the Dioptases on white Calcites such as this cabinet-sized specimen are one of Tsumeb's 'Holy Grails'. The Dioptases reach up to 1.2 cm, and they are well-distributed and ISOLATED across plate of Calcite crystals. Against the sparkly white background, the Diptases are indeed 'gems'. They have a heft and a beautiful aesthetic that is second to none. This is a wonderful, first-class specimen. Specimens like this are valued $7500-10,000 when they are seen at shows, in such size and condition.
