Dioptase on Plancheite

Unknown Owner
Stunning pocket/vug of large, lustrous, gemmy emerald-green dioptase crystals on sky blue plancheite. This mineral combination creates a beautiful color contrast. Specimens with the two tone green and blue that this specimen displays are the most highly sought after from the DR Congo. Would be a great addition of color and sparkle to any collector’s shelf.
