Double terminated Diopside and Tanzanite crystals on a \"matrix\" of a partial Tanzanite crystal. The Tanzanites are gemmy and terminated with top luster, the effect with the Diopsides, Graphite, and platy, white mineral are spectacular. Rare specimen indicative of the open pocket growth. Excellent piece for a Merelani suite, even the bottom is interesting with many small Diopsides. Fine, colorful minature.
