Item Description

When I first saw this back in '95, I was immediately taken by the scintillating nature of this miniature. The gemmy and highly lustrous Dioptases (notoriously hard to photograph) just sparkled, and set against a matrix of Quartz crystals and Chrysocolla, they all combine to create a beautiful aesthetic. This is a fine, and uncommon, combination piece from well-known Kaokoveld Plateau. Much better in person.
