(TYPE LOCALITY) EMRALD green DIOPTASE on CALCITE lined cavity - Height: 8.6 cm - Width: 9 cm- 269 g - (1)

Luca Esposito

Selected by Luca Esposito
An interesting cabinet specimen of deep emerald green chunky dioptase crystals set close together on a rombohedral calcite matrix from the type locality in Kazakhstan. The dioptase crystals in this case have very fine luster, sharp faces, and are quite gemy in spots. There are a few broken crystals that are visible both on the photos and video, but nothing that you could call mayor. Here is a link for the video showcasing this specimen: https://youtube.com/shorts/uWssQKVzXKI?feature=share
