A cluster of deep green dioptase
crystals, with areas of distinct hopper growth (r maybe
natural etching?). Unusual for the species/locality; of
the 187 dioptase
photos for this locality hosted at Mindat, only one (that I
can find) distinctly shows this strange 'corroded'
morphology. Something different for the species!
