This 26mm piece features a dense cluster of well-defined, sharp rhombohedral Dioptase crystals boasting their iconic, deeply saturated emerald-green to rich teal-blue hue. Nestled beautifully alongside and beneath the crystalline dioptase is a contrasting matrix of sky-blue Plancheite, creating an exquisite dual-copper mineral combination. Despite its compact thumbnail size, the specimen offers fantastic structural depth, prominent crystal faces, and a brilliant, glassy luster that truly pops under bright display lighting.
