Dioptase

Dioptase xlg is from Tantara Katanga Congo. It is an intense emerald – green copper cyclosilicate mineral. It is transparent to translucent. Its luster is vitreous to sub-adamantine. Additionally, D

ioptase is very fragile and specimen must be handled with great care.
This is Dioptase on Chryssocolla with, what I think is Minrecordite.
