Fantastic Congo Dioptase with beautiful bluish green colour, superb lustre and very gemmy crystals. The entire specimen is a plate of Dioptase crystals which have formed as a druse, with individual crystals measuring up to 20mm in height and nearly 10mm wide. Very desirable from this location, the photos don't do this specimen justice!

Size: 70mm x 95mm x 30mm
