A SUPERB and AESTHETIC Tsumeb specimen. Isolated, very gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green dioptase crystals to 1.4 cm are BEAUTIFULLY scattered on sculptural matrix of sparkly, tiny, white calcite rhombs. ALL of the dioptase crystals are pristine, except for a very trivial, barely noticeable bruise, on the lower front edge of the large crystal. Discrete gemmy dioptase crystals on white calcite are THE most desirable Tsumeb dioptase combination.
