This 83-gram dioptase cluster from Likasi, Katanga Province, DRC, is a compact yet striking example of the locality’s renowned mineral quality. The tightly packed, emerald-green crystals dominate the front face, forming sharp terminations with a brilliant vitreous lustre. When angled under bright light, faint internal zoning in a few crystals adds depth and complexity to the vibrant colour.

The earthy brown matrix adds grounding contrast, with subtle patches of oxidised copper minerals providing additional interest. While the front face boasts dense crystal coverage, the rear reveals more of the matrix, offering insight into its natural formation. This combination of crystalline brilliance and geological context makes it an excellent display piece.
