This high-quality dioptase crystal from Likasi, DRC features sharp, lustrous faces with rich emerald-green colour and excellent translucency. Small but vibrant, it’s a standout specimen for collectors who appreciate gemmy dioptase with minimal matrix and well-exposed terminations.

Unlike many dioptase pieces with heavy host rock, this 11g specimen maximises crystal presence while maintaining structural integrity. The bright green faces glisten under light, showcasing the clarity and depth of colour that Likasi dioptase is known for. A few areas of natural matrix provide contrast without detracting from the overall visual appeal.

A rare opportunity to own a well-formed copper silicate mineral from one of Africa’s most respected sources — perfect for serious mineral collectors or as a display centrepiece.
