Well terminated single crystal of green Diopside from the Merelani Tanzanite mines. This crystal has a good medium green color and is complete all around. Good transparency that shows well the inclusions of platy grey Graphite crystals!!! Merelani is one of the few places you find good Graphite crystals and they only place I know where they are found included in gem crystals.
