Wonderful specimen of super Plancheite balls decorated aesthetically by Dioptase “diadem”. The rare secondary Copper silicate Plancheite forms splendid balls with needle crystals of sky blue color. Above are scattered lustrous Dioptases with dark emerald-green color. The crystals are gemmy. In very good condition – some outside edges contacts (seen on the photos).

Overwhelming Plancheite-Dioptase specimen!
