Private Collection - Dioptase

Dioptase – Private Collection

213g • Approx. 8 x 5 x 4cm

This beautiful Dioptase specimen comes from my own private collection. For many years I collected green crystals, and Dioptase was always one of my favourites. It is not something I part with lightly, but I have decided to release a few special pieces, including this lovely one.

Rich emerald-green Dioptase crystals sit across the matrix, with several larger, well-formed crystals. The colour is everything you hope for from good Dioptase: vibrant, intense, and impossible to ignore.

Dioptase has long been regarded as one of the most desirable copper minerals, prized equally by mineral collectors and crystal enthusiasts. Fine specimens with larger crystals are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, particularly pieces that combine strong colour, good crystal development, and attractive presentation.

Ways to Work With It:

• Display as a centrepiece mineral specimen where the crystals can catch the light
