Brilliant and bright green dioptases perched atop a quartz matrix. The crystals are doubly-terminated and measure 12 mm tip to tip. Another lime green species, probably duftite, sets a pleasing contrast which is so typical for the locality. Numerous tiny gemmy dioptases are scattered around the matrix. Striking aesthetics, perfect condition.
