Description from the seller

Dioptasio – Congo

Splendid specimen of dioptase from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, characterized by a rich coverage of crystals that coat much of the surface of the sample.

The crystals, well-formed, display a green color in hue and a brilliant vitreous luster, giving the specimen a remarkable visual impact. The light matrix creates a pleasant color contrast, further enhancing the vivacity of the crystals.

The sample shows a compact and uniform crystal coating. There are a few small nicks that, however, do not alter the beauty of this specimen.

Origin: Congo
Weight: 814 g
Dimensions: 16 × 11 × 5 cm
