Rare deep green dioptase crystal from Likasi, DRC, featuring sharp lustrous faces and fibrous malachite-like textures. A well-balanced miniature with excellent colour contrast and display potential — ideal for collectors of African minerals or those seeking fine-quality dioptase with varied crystal structure and surface detail.

This 11g specimen combines two distinct habits: one face exhibits translucent dioptase crystals with strong vitreous lustre, while the reverse shows a fibrous, matte green surface suggesting malachite alteration. The result is a vivid interplay between clarity and texture, offering visual depth despite its small footprint.

The piece is unpolished and natural, with alternating areas of smooth crystal growth and more granular, etched sections. Its compact size and dynamic form make it a standout in any high-quality mineral display.
