Description/Interesting Notes:

A magnificent, old time example of chromium diopside from Finland!!! This specimen hosts an intensely colored crystal of chromium diopside prominently perched on a quartz matrix!!! The crystal has sharp, complex faces with marked luster and showy, bright green color!!! The crystal measures nearly 3cm!!! This specimen retains old labels as well as a custom made acrylic display label (clearly it had been on display at some point in its past)!!! Rare, old time material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
