As is always the case with dioptase, it is hard to capture the deep green color - and this fine miniature is no exception. In person, it has the best "Tsumeb" green color and top luster. There are a couple of little bruises at the edges of the cluster, but overall this specimen is in fine shape and very pretty! 3.4 x 3.1 x 2.7cm
