Item Description
A beautiful miniature sized display specimen of rich emerald-green trigonal Dioptase crystals from the famous locality at Brazzaville (Reneville). Most of the crystals in the center of the piece (the largest measures a full 1.8 cm) are in great shape, and show little if any damage. The crystals are translucent when backlit, showing the classic color that these specimens are famous for. A worthwhile piece of this well known and now hard to find material. Valued at $$800-$1000 retail.
