CONGO DIOPTASE AT ANOTHER LEVEL
This piece is absolutely EPIC.
A killer Dioptase with Plancheite from the Sanda, Mindouli Pool Department, Republic of the Congo — completely loaded with intensely saturated emerald-green Dioptase crystals and incredible coverage from top to bottom.
The luster, crystal formation, and that electric green color are just ridiculous. Every angle is alive with crystals, with the Plancheite adding another layer of mineralogical character to an already spectacular specimen.
At 42.56 grams and 60 × 42 mm, this is a serious collector piece with huge presence for its size. One of those specimens that looks like it was dipped in emeralds.
