Exquisite cluster of Dioptase crystals from recent finds in the Republic of Congo. This is a jewel-like undamaged floater cluster of crystals with no points of attachment. Individual crystals reach 2cm in size. There are tiny grey hemispheres of an unidentified mineral coating the back side. Much better in person, this is a wonderful Dioptase.
