Isolated green Dioptase crystals on matrix from a recent find at the Sanda Mine. There is a large, well terminated crystal at the top that displays well. This crystal is 1.7cm long, perfectly terminated and translucent to transparent - really nice! There are small Quartz crystals on the matrix too. Some of the other Dioptase are contacted, but that top crystal really makes this one. Valued at $150+.
