Description

Stunning Dioptase from Namibia. This 36 x 24 x 9 cm miniature just sparkles due its very high luster. The bright dark green color rivals the finest emeralds. This specimen contains dozens of rhombohedron crystals which are very reflective due to a fairly high luster. Under magnification, I noted one or two crystals had a slightly abraded edge on one or two facets, but it is not eye visible. Dioptase is one of the minerals that does not photograph well. This photo doesn’t do it justice, you have to see it.
