This is a new find of Dioptase from Nevada. Maybe the best Nevada has to offer. Dioptase has been known to occur from the Goodsprings district, however not much has ever reached the market. I have more of these so if you miss it please let me know. I do not have a specific mine as of yet but will get it in time. The crystals are minute and are just a drusy coating, but the color is a nice deep green. This is one of the better specimens.
