Description

Very interesting group of prismatic diopside crystals, it seems that they are partially uralitized but in many areas they retain their brightness and color, they are accompanied by some pyrite cubes. This is a very old piece and gives the impression that it was once covered with calcite, which seems to have been removed with some type of acid.
It is a special piece, which is not seen in the European market.
This piece is very large and very heavy, please pay attention to the weight and the corresponding shipping costs. Any question, do not hesitate to write to me.
