Description/Interesting Notes:
A magnificent example of dioptase from Arizona!!! This specimen consists of a dense, colorful matrix that hosts a striking showing of
emerald green dioptase crystals!!! This specimen hosts glassy, gem clear, razor sharp crystals of dioptase of a size and quality that is simply exceptional
for the locality!!! The matrix consists of a dense, lapidary-grade mass of massive cuprite, turquoise colored chrysocolla, malachite, and other
colorful copper bearing species!!! The reverse of the specimen appears to exhibit a showy, colorful "slickenside" formation that is quite
striking in person!!!
This specimen is simply gorgeous in person!!! The dioptase is in
pristine condition and is way better than the pictures show - with razor-sharp, gem-clear, intense
emerald green crystals of impressive size for the locality!!!
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!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MAY 19th!!!
