PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Dioptase With Shattuckite Rare And Exquisite

Dioptase with Shattuckite specimens is a visually striking mineral combination, showcasing the vivid emerald-green of Dioptase paired with the rich blue hues of Shattuckite. Dioptase, a Copper Cyclosilicate, typically forms small, lustrous, translucent to transparent rhombohedral crystals, with a vitreous sheen, resulting from oxidation in copper sulfide deposits. Shattuckite, a rare Copper Silicate, complements it with its deep to powder-blue coloration, appearing in botryoidal, fibrous, or massive forms, sometimes as a pseudomorph replacing earlier Dioptase crystals. This is a true mineralogical rarity.
