This dioptase crystal specimen displays the vivid emerald green colour that has made dioptase one of the most sought after collector minerals. Dense crystal coverage across the display face creates exceptional sparkle under changing light, while its compact size makes it ideal for a mineral collection, display cabinet or office display.

What makes this specimen particularly appealing is the exceptional crystal coverage. Rather than a few isolated crystals on matrix, the display face is almost entirely covered with intergrown dioptase crystals, creating a rich carpet of colour and lustre. A small area of associated malachite adds natural contrast and highlights the classic copper mineral association for which Musonoi Mine material is highly regarded.
