Exceptionally large and fine, this huge doubly terminated crystal of lustrous and translucent, rich emerald-green dioptase measures a remarkable 3.8 cm in length. Ex. Collection of Gene Meieran via exchange (and valued $2800 by what he had paid a decade ago, but we are just liquidating a deal here). This is a significant specimen for crystal size!
