A colorful specimen with deep green dioptase inclusions twinkling inside clear calcite rhombohedra. This specimen is more richly included than the others above, so much so that it looks like a carpet of sparkling dioptase spreading out from the calcites, rather than included in them! A few tiny yellow spots may be micro-wulfenite crystals in association or included at the edge of one of the calcites. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
