Dioptase is known from a few world localities in superb quality specimens, but recently there was a find of new material in the Pool Region of the Congo. These specimens show great color, with larger sized crystals and excellent gemminess. This particular specimen is comprised of very sharp, highly lustrous, gemmy, rich emerald green color Dioptase crystals on minor matrix forming a very attractive overall specimen. This find seemed to be somewhat limited, and hopefully will produce more specimens.
