Description

I had several email requests for another sample of diaboleite from Tiger so here you are! This very vuggy matrix hosts numerous tabular crystals of diaboleite with one stand-out crystal hosted in the vug at the arrow. The perfect, tabular crysal sits on one corner perfectly upright in the vug and is very sharp and photogenic. This is my last very nice piece for now!
