Just plain PRETTY! Euhedral crystals of calcite sprinkled with super-bright green dioptase crystals as if out of a pepper shaker! Tsumeb dioptases are always at their best on backgrounds of white calcite; really makes the color jump. In very good shape, with just a color of very small and unobtrusive bruises. 6 x 5.2 x 4.8 cm
