description:
Glistening green crystals of dioptase averaging 0.3 cm in size quite thick over the front side of this 7.0 x 5.0 x 1.5 cm matrix. Minimal micro-chipping mainly along the edges of the piece, this due to contacting at the locality in the very tight pockets that form. Good colorful example from the type locality for the species.
