From the famous generations-old Weyand Collection held in Tsumeb until 2025 comes this exceptionally high-class Dioptase miniature. With the most highly sought white Calcite matrix adding considerably to its aesthetics, the quality and exquisitely bright lustre of the emerald-green Dioptase crystals really stands out. Individually, the Dioptase crystals reach up to 8 mm in length, but they are all perfection in terms of their shape and overall quality. When compared with the best Dioptase from other world occurrences, these Tsumeb pieces shine through as streets ahead.
