Large Dioptase specimen with some of the crystals coated with a grey secondary mineral. Other than the grey mineral, this is a heavy specimen of nothing but solid Dioptase, the most Dioptase in one specimen I've ever held in my hand. Additionally, the crystals are big reaching 1.8cm in length, and the specimen is nearly a complete floater with just on area of contact on the backside. An oblong egg shaped piece with a central crystal lined cavity.
