About the Item
This vibrantly contrasting specimen showcases moderate to large sized emerald-green Dioptase crystals crowning a matrix of glassily crystallized and beautifully Calcite, dotted with rare powder-blue Plancheite formations that show vividly through the perfectly-formed Calcite crystals. The sharply formed and undamaged, glassy Dioptase prisms contrast beautifully against the transparent Calcite and blue highlights of Plancheite. With exceptional luster, bold color saturation, and striking crystal definition, this piece offers a rare combination of minerals perfect for serious collectors and museum-quality displays.
A true natural masterpiece, this specimen captures the timeless beauty of nature’s finest mineral artistry.
