This unusual specimen is a very attractive, shimmering cluster of violet-colored diopside crystals, from a new find in early 2008. I picked this up on a trade from a collector at Munich who says he got it from the original collector in Munich as well, and that it was the best of the lot for size/aesthetics balance. I had not seen others, so I will trust him on this. Most unusual!
