Item Description
Captivating allure from the green flash of these translucent and lustrous, gemmy Dioptase crystals never gets old. The specimen has a rich emerald green sparkle and sharp crystallography that makes it a favorite for collectors. This matrix piece from the Kapata mine has full coverage across the display face with well formed distinctive crystals up to 1.2 cm. There is some slight bruising noted with minor periphery edge wear present. A nice representative example showing that distinctive green color “pop” in your collection display. Donated to the MINDAT auction by Persson Rare Minerals.
