Museum Quality Dioptase on Plancheite

This truly one-of-a-kind, show-stopping specimen from the DRC brings presence and prestige. Featuring thumb-sized Dioptase crystals, including a standout point measuring approximately 1.5 inches long by 5/8 inch in diameter, this piece displays the rich, emerald-green color and extreme luster that makes Dioptase one of the most visually captivating copper-based minerals in the world.

The vibrant crystals rest on a soft blue matrix of Plancheite, a rarer carbon-based mineral that lends a delicate contrast in both color and texture. The clarity, depth of color, and sheer size of these Dioptase crystals place this piece in a class of its own – far beyond typical cabinet specimens.

An investment-grade acquisition and a dramatic focal point in any fine mineral collection, this specimen redefines what’s possible with Dioptase. You’ve never seen anything like it.
