Wonderful contrast on this specimen, with beautiful deep green dioptase perched on pale blue plancheite. The dioptase crystals have top lustre and are super quality. In excellent condition - one incomplete crystal at lower right (not distracting). The back of the specimen has been trimmed with a saw for better proportions - not at all visible as displayed. The aesthetics, colour and contrast on this piece are special.
