A NOTE FROM NICK
An XL Large 15.4cm Natural Dioptase Specimen, This Piece has nice dark Emerald Green Crystals across the whole face, intermingled with Crystalline Malachite, on White Dolomite Matrix. It does have some scuffed areas on the crystals but is in pretty good condition, is an impressive 1.82kg beauty, and is less tan half the price that it would be with no damaged crystals.
