Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely extraordinary example of dioptase from this exciting new locality!!! This specimen consists of a huge,
doubly terminated crystal of dioptase in association with a small amount of quartz matrix!!! These
dioptase specimens came from a small, but truly extraordinary find at the Cristoff Mine!!! These specimens are setting
a new standard for this famed and sought after species!!! These Christoff Mine dioptase specimens are still quite scarce
and command very high prices!!! The crystal has sharp, lustrous faces and stunning emerald green color (for some reason,
these incredible crystals can show up bluish in the pictures but make no mistake, this specimen is INTENSE EMERALD GREEN
in person)!!! The clarity ranges from translucent to gem!!! The bottom of the crystal hosts some minor quartz crystal association and
exhibits some curiously flattened features as well!!! This specimen is VERY showy in person!!! This is a GIANT dioptase crystal
- you don't want to miss out on this rare stunner!!! The pics don't even come close to
doing it justice!!!
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!!!
