Item Description

A wonderful "Alpine Type" specimen consisting of sharp, lustrous, gemmy, deep green prismatic Diopside crystals in parallel growth. This specimen came to Rich Kosnar about twelve years ago, and I personally have not seen many of them on the market in quite some time. A good specimen from one of the premier "cleft" localities in Pakistan.
