Gemmy Dioptase Crystal Cluster - Renéville Mine, Congo #168639
This is a gorgeous cluster of dioptase crystals that was collected from the Renéville Mine of the Republic of the Congo. The entire specimen is 2.1" long and the crystals are a lustrous, deep emerald-green color.

Dioptase is an uncommon mineral, found mostly in desert regions where it forms as a secondary mineral in the oxidized zone of copper sulfide mineral deposits. This copper-based mineral forms small rhombohedral crystals, typically less than 0.75 centimeters in length. It is popular with mineral collectors due to its vibrant color and it is occasionally cut into small emerald-like gems.
