Gemmy and lustrous, emerald-green dioptase crystals to 9 mm on a nicely contrasting, aesthetically shaped matrix of sparkly, off-white calcite from Tsumeb. This fine piece comes with a Prosper Williams label, a prominent Tsumeb dealer in the 1970s and early 1980s. Dioptase on calcite from Tsumeb is much sought after.
