Description from the seller

Natural Diopside Crystal Specimen on Marble Matrix – Badakhshan, Afghanistan

A beautiful natural Diopside specimen from Badakhshan, Afghanistan, weighing 648 grams and measuring approximately 125 × 82 × 45 mm.

The specimen features numerous attractive green Diopside crystals covering the white marble matrix on multiple sides. The contrasting combination of the vivid green crystals against the white matrix gives the piece a striking and highly aesthetic appearance. The crystals show natural terminations and good lustre, creating an impressive three-dimensional mineral display.

A particularly attractive feature is the large, prominent Diopside crystal formation, which contributes significantly to the specimen's overall character and allows the piece to be self-standing for display. The specimen has a strong natural formation and an excellent presentation from different viewing angles.

With its substantial size, attractive green colour, white marble contrast, natural crystal formations and self-standing presentation, this is an excellent collector's specimen and an impressive display piece for a mineral collection.
