A WHOPPER plate of sparkling green dioptase crystals! Though the crystals are not particularly large, they measure up to about half a centimeter and are NOT just a "druse" by any standard! What's more, the color is a superb bright green (much better in person - dioptase is notoriously hard to shoot - these crystals have the best color and are actually quite gemmy!). There is very little bruising, most of it at the periphery. Quite a showpiece in person - MUCH more impressive than the photos which are small anyhow 11.5 x 8.5 x 4.5 cm
