Dioptase Deep Green Crystals on Matrix Rock High Quality Cluster Rocks and Minerals Mineral Specimen Healing Crystals N’tola Mindouli Congo
This is a stunning cluster of beautiful deep green dioptase crystals on matrix! Pictures do not do it justice--the color of the Dioptase crystals is a rich, emerald green, and it is uniquely difficult to capture the quality of the color on camera. This cluster is lovely and difficult to capture in pictures—the crystals vary in size, with raw layers of brownish-red matrix rock beneath them. The Dioptase crystals are prismatic with glittering surface texture; they have grown atop and around the matrix rock, and the overall shape is a raw layered cluster with bright color and subtle shine. (Dioptase rarely forms crystals over about an inch long, so these are characteristic specimens of the mineral.) This is a desirable and substantially sized example of this mineral, and will make a unique and exotic addition to any specimen collection!
