Dioptase

Specimen # 100240
Mineral: Dioptase
Location: Okandawasi Pit, Kaokoveld Plateau, Kunene Region, Namibia
Size: 11.8 x 8.7 x 4.6 cm

Description

This cabinet specimen hosts several sharp crystals of dioptase. The large one is quite the size, measuring 1.7 x 1.1 cm.  Excellent separation of the crystals and great contrast with the hosting calcite. One rub on the large crystal visible with magnification, and one small nick around its right-hand side – neither is distracting. The second largest crystal is pristine.  Super price for such a dioptase – great piece!
