A rich, colorful, colorful, plate of matrix that is smothered in dioptase. The largest crystal is just a hair under 9mm, but there are neat rivulets of them winding across the matrix, and the matrix itself they sit on is composed of dioptase micros that are like sparkly sugar, dripped on. Ex. Rob Smith Collection.
