Dioptase
Unknown Owner
Three isolated dioptase crystals that are sharp and undamaged up to 1cm in length sit on a bed of calcite. Perched on the calcite are several sprays of chatoyant acicular malachite that is wonderful to behold under a scope. There seems to be some preferentially orientated inclusion of a tan color inside the calcite crystals I do not know what that may be.
