S17963 – Dioptase

The pleasing color and brilliance of this dioptase specimen is impressive. Congo material ranges from light to dark green, with certain specimens the intensity and visual pop is just right, such as this vibrant beauty. The partly translucent crystals are entirely made up of consistently smooth and damage free faces. The aesthetically peppered plancheite accentuate the piece. Ex.
