This natural green diopside crystal combines vivid apple green colour, excellent transparency and an elegant crystal form that immediately catches the eye. Light passes through much of the crystal, revealing its natural internal features while the attached graphite matrix confirms its origin from the famous Merelani mineral deposits of Tanzania.

What makes this specimen particularly appealing is its balance of colour, clarity and natural character. The crystal retains its recognisable prismatic form with attractive vitreous lustre and displays the bright green colour collectors look for in Merelani diopside. The small graphite attachment adds geological interest while preserving the crystal’s natural appearance. You will receive the exact specimen shown in the photographs.
