8038188
location:
Cobre mine, Ica, Peru
description:
Very pretty green crystals of dioptase to 0.5 cm in size across the top of this bluish crystallized quartz matrix. Very tiny and sparse micro-chipping present, this I can only find with the aid of magnification. To the naked eye this is perfect. Quite nice for the species from this locality.
Size: 4.0 x 2.0 x 1.5 cm (miniature)
