Description

The specimen was found in the classic location in the mountains of Bumannsfjorden, Seiland, Finnmark in Norway.

There are crystals on all the sides of this piece. In one side there are bigger crystals up to 12 mm, some of them very nice but also some damaged ones. On the other sides there are several smaller crystals (see the last picture). It appears that some of the smaller crystals are damaged. 

The diopsides got at nice deep green color, and are partly transculent.

Most of the year the field where the minerals are found is covered with ice and snow. This speciment was found in the end of the 1980s by my father, Gunnar Mathisen. Today the area is a part of Seiland National Park, and collecting from this area is now strictly forbidden.
