Rich Dioptase Crystal Cluster — Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

Elevate your mineral collection with this striking Dioptase crystal cluster from the world-class localities of the DRC. Known for producing some of the most intensely colored copper minerals on the planet, this specimen perfectly embodies the mesmerizing appeal of the species.

As captured in image_eb31af.jpg, the specimen consists of a dense, interlocking cluster of sharp, blocky rhombohedral Dioptase crystals. They showcase an incredibly rich, saturated deep emerald-green to teal hue with a highly reflective, vitreous luster that gleams beautifully under display lighting.
