A NOTE FROM NICK
Large and very beautiful 15cm Dioptase Specimen on Dolomite Matrix . Nice Large Emerald Green Crystals with some damage on some crystals . Still an extremely beautiful and classic large cabinet specimen of a very sought after species. This would have been a R7500-R9000 specimen but with damage its selling at R3100 and is a great bargain.
