LWK07 Dioptase with Cuprite
Reneville, Pool Dept., Republic of Congo
10.4x 6.4x 5.5 cm
$485
An unusual combination piece form what I am told was a single pocket-- dioptase on cuprite. The cuprite is visible as a dark reddish cross section on the edge. of the specimen, and there is more under the dioptase. There is damage, though I thought this was quite interesting for this area-- and the size of the cuprite is almost reminiscent of Onganja.
