Description

Fine deep green lustrous crystals of Dioptase are closely scattered across a translucent white Calcite matrix. The Dioptase crystals are well formed with superb colour and lustre, and measure from 1mm to just over 1cm in length. There are very minor small chips to some of the crystals, but overall it is a fine specimen and very aesthetic. The reverse of the specimen is a mixture of Malachite and Goethite.
