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!!! 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 crystal exhibits a slighly rotating habit, with numerous
parallel and slightly divergent crystal faces creating a handsome sense of movement in the piece!!! Both terminations are
complete and there is an area on the underside that exhibits a highly
complex network of tiny stepped faces - make no mistake, this area is not damage and in person is sparkly and lustrous!!!
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!!!
