An amazing specimen in that such isolated, sharp, pristine dioptase crystals are rare as can be. This superb piece features two perfect crystals, nicely situated on a well-trimmed calcite matrix. It is the ideal association piece for the collector who likes such a superb display of crystallography instead of the usual more jumbled appearance of dioptase specimens. Comes with custom-made lucite base. 7 x 7 x 4 cm
