Museum Quality Dioptase on Plancheite

This truly one of a kind, show-stopping piece from the DRC brings serious presence. With thumb-size dioptase crystals – the largest measuring an 3.8 cm long by 1.6 cm in diameter – on a matrix of pale blue plancheite, another carbon-based mineral, the true emerald color, luster, and clarity for which dioptase is known is truly off the charts. An investment piece if there ever was one and a surefire way to upgrade any collection. You've never seen dioptase like this before. Dimensions: 4-1/4”W x 2-3/4”D x 2”H, Weight: 319 g
