Fine quality single Diopside crystal with the top color for the locality (which happens to produce the world's best Diopside crystals). For some reason the more transparent Diopside crystal from Merelani typically have pale color and the bright, deep green Diopside crystals are less transparent. This crystal has both top color and good transparency. The termination has an unusual growth pattern but is undamaged.
