Gemmy Dioptase Crystals on Quartz - Congo #306094
This is a cluster of lustrous dioptase crystals on sparkling quartz crystals, collected from the Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville). The entire specimen is 2" wide and the dioptase is a gorgeous, emerald-green color.

It has been mounted to an acrylic display base with mineral tack.

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.
