A wonderful specimen of super Plancheite ball decorated aesthetically by Dioptase “diadem”. The rare secondary Copper silicate Plancheite forms splendid cluster of needle crystals with sky blue color. Around are scattered lustrous Dioptases with dark emerald-green color. Dioptases are gemmy. Some white Calcite adds a nice contrast. In superb condition – some contacts at the outside edges.

Overwhelming Plancheite-Dioptase specimen!
