 | ""The Dioptase crystals on this specimen are a fine, bright grouping of crystals on Quartz. The main vug measures 6.4 x 2.6 cm. Dioptase is a very beautiful mineral and it is one of the few minerals that can challenge the peerlessness of emerald's deep green. The mineral specimens that dioptase produces, however, are truly a treasure for anyone that likes deep green colors. Specimens of dioptase are often deeply colored and show well developed crystals. The faces of the rhombohedrons, and even the prism faces, are very reflective due to a fairly high luster. The Dioptase Crystals can be quite clear but at times they seem to be cloudy due to the deep color. The special attributes of a high quality specimen of dioptase are hard to describe adequately but must be observed in person in order to appreciate their value.
