Here is a wonderful dioptase specimen from this region in Africa.
Beautiful gemmy emerald green dioptase crystals on top of a matrix that has a layer of calcite on it.
This calcite fluoreses higher under shortwave UV light.
The dioptase is more gemmy than most from this region, with amazing luster and color.
There are a few missing crystals, mostly around the edges, but still shows extremely well.
