Item Description
Pair of cute Dioptase thumbnails offered together. Each is very different, so variety is one of the hallmarks of this offering. One is a pure cluster of sharp Dioptase crystals, while the other is a combination piece with Dioptase, Plancheite, and probably drusy Quartz. The Dioptases have excellent luster, and partial gemminess. The thickest crystal is 1.3 cm long and and it is doubly-terminated!
