Item Description

Sharply terminated gemmy diopside crystals are RARE from the famous Ziller Valley. A razor-sharp chisel termination crowns this textbook, very glassy, highly lustrous, transparent to translucent, light pastel-green to near colorless crystal with interior veils. This classic and fine rarity is technically doubly terminated, as the broken base is rehealed. A MUST for the species or Austria collector.
