Dioptase
Description
This piece is a natural part of the environment the dioptase grows in here, with actually a cavity on each side filled with dioptase. One side you have brilliantly green, sharp crystals to 1 cm in a thin pocket. On the other, more exposed, there is a whopping huge 3 cm crystal (ingrown, but you see most of it!), along with smaller ones. The pocket shows how solutions containing the copper flooded cracks in the rock and when space allowed, dioptase crystallized out of that solution into pockets. Where space didn't allow, you got solid dioptase fillers between the small pockets.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
