About the Item
This exceptional Dioptase with Calcite specimen is a commanding display of color, luster, and form. The surface glistens with a dense, uniform layer of fully terminated, vividly emerald-green Dioptase crystals – each one exhibiting the exceptional translucency and inner glow that defines top-quality material off this copper cyclosilicate mineral. The depth of hue and clarity in this piece create a striking visual contrast with the accenting Calcite crystals – including one particularly sculptural, well-formed crystal that anchors the composition at its lower right.
Highly three-dimensional and richly saturated, this piece exemplifies the optical brilliance and intense depth that make Dioptase one of the most coveted minerals among advanced collectors. Its size, balance, and impeccable crystal quality place it among the upper echelon of Dioptase specimens available on the market today. A true centerpiece for any fine collection.
