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 and smoky-colored cerussite!!! 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, glassy 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 cerussite crystals are
actually complete, having an unusually complex habit and a translucent, smoky color!!! This specimen displays magnificently all around!!! This is a killer specimen - you
don't want to miss out on this rare and valuable stunner!!! The pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY September 9th!!!
