Item Description

First-rate cluster of classic deep green Dioptase crystals with superb luster, from the renowned Kaokeveld Plateau. In my opinion, Dioptase crystals that stand up above the matrix are always much more appealling due to the visibilty. This double cluster does just that. Both sets of crystals do just that with symmetry and beauty. The largest of the crystals is about 2 cm, but they all have decent size. A truly wonderful Dioptase for the locality with real impact, when viewed in person..... Better in person, as Dioptase is particularly hard to photograph. Valued $1200
