Item Description
Eye-catching plate of dozens of lustrous, deep-green Dioptases that make up a bed upon which an incredible 1 cm Dioptase cube rests. The main crystal is sharp, very gemmy, and has fair to very good luster. For all the world, it looks like a Rogerly Fluorite (and a great one, at that) that has been carefully positioned right in the middle of the matrix for maximum effect. An unusual, and highly aesthetic, specimen. Better even than the pics and surely a good dioptase for a colelction if you want a bigger piece without breakign the bank
