A colorful specimen with deep green dioptase inclusions twinkling inside clear calcite rhombohedra. The inclusions are, unusually, oriented along several planes of the crystal such that they leave a colorless rim of clear calcite around the included areas, except the center of some upper crystal faces where the inclusions do surface. Ex. Willy Israel Collection.
