About the Item
This Dioptase cluster from the legendary Tsumeb Mine in Namibia showcases a dazzling array of saturated emerald-green crystals with exceptional luster and clarity. The sharply terminated Dioptase points radiate across a contrasting light matrix, creating a vivid, reflective presentation that stands out in any collection.
Renowned for its rich, saturated green hue and glassy brilliance, Dioptase is a rare copper cyclosilicate mineral prized by collectors worldwide. This piece displays classic aesthetics, excellent color uniformity, and gemmy crystal structure – all hallmarks of the finest material from Tsumeb’s historic copper deposits.
Whether you're an advanced collector or simply seeking a centerpiece for your cabinet, this museum-quality Dioptase specimen offers visual impact and provenance.
