This lush, lustrous bed of deep emerald-green Dioptase crystals is a striking showcase of one of the mineral world’s most prized copper-based mineral species. Featuring fully formed, fully terminated, moderately sized Dioptase crystals with vivid color and excellent translucency, this specimen exemplifies the top-tier quality sought by collectors.
Large, golden-hued Calcite crystals with exceptional gemminess accent the intense green, growing in harmonious contrast with the Dioptase. The combination of colors, clarity, and luster makes for a visually unforgettable presentation.
Sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)—one of only two known localities globally where Dioptase is found—this rare Cyclosilicate copper mineral specimen is a true standout. A museum-grade piece destined to be the centerpiece of any serious collection.
