NDP00 Mottramite, Dioptase with Mimetite
Ntola Mine, Mindouli, Pool Dept., Republic of Congo
18.4x 14.0x 8.0 cm
$5000

A spectacular large cabinet specimen of dioptase from recent finds at Ntola.  This piece has unusually large crystals for the locality, and a pleasant sprinkling of small yellow orbs of another mineral-- I am guessing a mixture of mimetite and mottramite.  

There are saw marks around the edges.  The piece could admittedly use more trimming,  though even as is I would say it is significant for the locality.
