Description

This specimen features a pocket lined with brilliant, glistening deep green dioptase crystals. The dioptase are top colour and lustre and excellent quality. Some contacts around the edge of the cavity and the area at the top toward the back, where it was removed from the rock. The back and bottom of the specimen have been trimmed with a saw to improve the proportions of the piece. A beautiful, striking piece.
