Description from the seller

A highly aesthetic specimen of vivid emerald-green Dioptase on a contrasting light matrix, originating from the classic N'tola Mine in the Mindouli District, Republic of the Congo.

This piece features a dense crystallization of sparkling dioptase micro-crystals lining a rich vein, highlighted by a larger, exceptionally sharp, prismatic primary crystal tucked within a protective vug. The crisp contrast between the bright green copper silicate and the host rock makes for a striking display cabinet specimen.
