Diamond in Conglomerate

Sierra Leone

3.8cm x 3.2cm x 2.5cm

Ex. Florence Mecke Collection

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic, old time example of diamond on matrix from Sierra Leone!!! Examples of diamond on matrix are quite rare indeed!!! This specimen hosts a highly complex single diamond crystal prominently perched on a conglomerate concretion!!! The crystal has a dark, greenish color with highly complex features and bright, adamantine luster!!! Upon close examination, one can see an overall cubic form with complex octahedral and dodecahedral modifications!!! Matrix diamond specimens are very rare and highly sought after by collectors!!! This specimen is unrepaired and completely natural!!! Old time material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
