S15957 – Dioptase

A GORGEOUS dioptase with the glassy shine and quality characteristic of Tsumeb. At 2 cm tall, this vibrant green crystal sits up perfectly above sparkly smithsonite matrix. The piece is further enhanced by complete balls of malachite. This specimen is much more than just another dioptase, with composition and overall appeal that is simply remarkable. This piece really has it! Ex Doug Macdonald collection
