Description

This dioptase specimen from the Mindouli District in the Republic of the Congo displays intense teal-green crystals sharply contrasted against sparkling white calcite druses. Copper-rich dioptase prisms rise in well-defined crystal form, their gemlike luster glowing with rich internal saturation across the matrix.

As the specimen shifts under light, the calcite scatters soft reflections that enhance the depth and brilliance of the dioptase beneath. The vivid green and crisp white pairing creates a dynamic three-dimensional visual balance, with each viewing angle revealing new textures and reflective highlights across the surface.

Weight: 52 g (1.83 oz)
Size: 70 × 45 × 25 mm (2.76 × 1.77 × 0.98 in)

A meaningful addition for collectors who value Central African dioptase for its exceptional color saturation, sharp crystal definition, and the elegant visual contrast created by calcite association.
