Description

Firstly I have to apologize for the disastrous pictures, in this case it was a pain....So I just can say, that specimen is much better in person. Several noumerous, mostly gemmy and deep green, elongated crystals of diopside on typical matrix. Most are well developed, sharp edged and excellent terminated. Even there are a few imperfections, this is a super piece in fresh condition.
