A classic, richly encrusted miniature specimen presenting the beautiful shining emerald-green colour of Dioptase. Slightly domed in form, this piece is totally covered in Dioptase across its upper surfaces. These crystals are certainly not the largest known from Tsumeb mine, but are all super-glossy and damage-free and the overall shape of this piece lends itself to a really nicely balanced aesthetic specimen. Ex Weyand Collection.
