A gorgeous triplet of sharp dioptase crystals, 1.4-1.7 cm, spraying from a common base. A particularly fine thumbnail from finds circa 2020 in the old French Congo - not from the DRC where most dioptase is from. No dings visible to my eye, but I see the tips are only ever so slightly dinged or contacted in extreme close up, on the photo. Ex. Brian Kosnar. Laszlo Kupi photo.
