About the Item
This exceptional Dioptase crystal cluster from the DRC embodies everything that makes this mineral so sought after among serious collectors. With its deep, emerald-green color and gemmy luster, this specimen shimmers with natural brilliance across a dense field of perfectly terminated crystals. It showcases the remarkable saturation, clarity, and aesthetic balance that define fine Dioptase from one of the world’s premier localities.
Highly valued for its vivid color and transparency, Dioptase is a copper cyclosilicate that occurs in arid oxidized zones of copper deposits. This striking example displays textbook crystal habit, growing in tight clusters over its host matrix, creating dazzling reflections from every angle. A top-tier addition for connoisseurs and collectors of all ilks.
