Item Description

A wonderful "Alpine Type" specimen consisting of sharp, lustrous, gemmy, greenish-blue prismatic Diopside crystal associated with small, lustrous, translucent golden colored Epidote. I personally have not seen many of them on the market in quite some time. A good association specimen from one of the premier "cleft" localities in Pakistan. Largest Diopside crystal measures 4.3 cm long, and the piece is in great shape overall. A showy and three-dimensional piece of this classic and rarely seen association from Pakistan.
