Dioptase

Christoff Mine, Kaokoveld Plateau, Kunene Region, Namibia

4.2cm x 1.34cm x 1.3cm

THIS AUCTION WILL END **FRIDAY,** NOV., 26!!!


Description/Interesting Notes:

An absolutely extraordinary example of dioptase from this exciting new locality!!! This specimen consists of a huge, doubly terminated crystal of dioptase!!! These dioptase specimens came from a small, but truly extraordinary find at the Cristoff Mine!!! These specimens are setting a new standard for this famed and sought after species!!! These Christoff Mine dioptase specimens are still quite scarce and command very high prices!!! The crystal has sharp, glassy faces and stunning emerald green color (for some reason, these incredible crystals can show up bluish in the pictures but make no mistake, this specimen is INTENSE EMERALD GREEN in person)!!! The clarity ranges from translucent to gem!!! The crystal exhibits a slighly rotating habit, with numerous parallel and slightly divergent crystal faces creating a handsome sense of movement in the piece!!! Both terminations are complete and there is an area on the underside that exhibits a highly complex network of tiny stepped faces - make no mistake, this area is not damage and in person is sparkly and lustrous!!! This specimen displays magnificently all around!!! This is a killer specimen - you don't want to miss out on this rare and valuable stunner!!! The pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED THIS FRIDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 7-DAY AUCTION, ENDING *FRIDAY* NOVEMBER 26th (THE DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING)!!!

Don't forget!!! THIS AUCTION WILL END ON *FRIDAY*, NOVEMBER 26, due to the upcoming U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
