Dioptase
Otjikotu, Kaokoveld, Kunene, Namibia
Miniature, 3.6 x 1.2 x 1.0 cm
Ex. Charlie Key
SOLD
A shockingly large, doubly-terminated, translucent crystal of dioptase! This is nearly as large as a crystal of this species can get in length, if not thickness. It is flattish, contacted naturally, in back, but form the front shows all bevels and looks quite 3-dimensional. It has one small contact in front, and no damage. You would expect a crystal of such size and translucency, and intense color, to cost a lot more, I think...but Charlie passed these on at fair prices to us and we are trying the same. This is a MAJOR dioptase and a killer small miniature by any standard!
