Pristine group largely dominated by the central crystal of 1.8 cm long and not stubby though steeply terminated. 
Similar to the darkest emeralds in hue, these dioptases possess exceptional brilliancy, literally matching the 
dispersion level of only the finest gems. A copper jewel in person.

Yes, you are seeing this correctly! There is just no comparison I know of from Tantara that even approaches this 
GIANT, even with neighboring Mindouli, Kaokoveld and Tsumeb localities this crystal would still be ridiculously 
huge, in particular its massive thick uncommon girth. Altogether far from merely being locality important, which it 
IS, this copper rich species has an amplified display presence as few do, and as shown these sharply outlined 
hexagonal prisms measure in upwards of 3.2 x 2.1 x 2 cm forming the ultimate 3 dimensional crystal! Superbly 
illustrated crystallography.

Shocking solid robin's-egg blue plancheite supports this dioptase cluster measuring nearly 2.4 cm long. Not many 
mines, but more than one can hold a candle to such colorful glowing matrix, immediately recognizable as 
different. NOW is the time to grab one of these glamorous combination pieces, 3.8 x 3.5 cm.

Shining brilliantly, dozens of lush green dioptase crystals to 2.8 cm in length line an oblong plate of excellent 
coverage where light blue to whitish chrysocolla has partially rimmed the edge, in all stunning display piece. 
Every square inch reflects bright white light demonstrating its high quality.

REMARKABLE fat 2.5 cm dioptase completely surrounded by or appears to be, smaller crystals jutting from the 
main central point of interlocked matrix. These attractive lush emerald-green look-alikes illustrate how strong 
the top color can be on some crystals, but that's not all, in the past Tantara was historically producing on and off 
MAGNIFICENT specimens for collectors, yet it is only within the last few years that have we seen an influx in 
quality material like the one shown.

An appealing and distinguished group not to miss! Seven marvelous dioptases balance near the apex of sought 
after cornflower blue plancheite incrusted matrix. When some specimens develop into just the right mixture the 
results can be a real eyeopener. I should mention, the depth of these beaming green glossy crystals is unbelievable 
from every angle. Now is the time to grab one of these glamorous combination pieces, 6 x 5.3 cm.

In person the dioptase matches the green seen here! Apparent in the photos and greatly magnified is a contact 
at the top term with only tinniest of nicks cutting the price nearly in half, thus exceptional value can be had with 
this sought after copper mineral.

White, brown, and green camouflage patterns coat this attractive vug that has been dotted by over two dozen 
marvelous lush green dioptases hiding in nooks and crannies. When some specimens develop into just the 
right mixture the results can be a real eyeopener. The depth of not only these glossy crystals stands out in 
person, but also the RELIEF between layers of matrix.
