The quality is superior. The crystals are gem with marvelous neon green nuances. The Dioptase crystals are very well isolated and form superb focal points with beautiful display.  Some small colorless Calcites are seen too.  In excellent condition – one crystal has small imperfection (the last 2 detail photos).
