Description

Here we have a very attractive small cluster of dioptase from Namibia. The crystals are gemmy, intensely green, and show a bright, mirror-like lustre that highlights their sharp geometry. Their vivid colour and clarity give the piece strong visual impact despite its modest size. A highly appealing and classic Namibian dioptase specimen.
