A DRAMATIC and sculptural quartz-lined CABINET vug aesthetically and richly filled with very gemmy, elongated, emerald-green dioptase crystals and beautifully highlighted by a freestanding, prominent, 1.4 cm cerussite crystal. This REMARKABLE and very RARE combination specimen is from Reneville, Republic of Congo. Cerussite is unheard of from Reneville, so this is a UNIQUE combination specimen, dating to the 1950s or 60s. Ex. Charles Levitt Collection.
