Diopside -Classic gem crystal with Tremolite
stock #19.1-356
DeKalb, St Lawrence Co.
New York, United States
3.6 x 1.5 x 1.2 CM (small miniature/ large thumbnail (toenail))
price: $575


A fine old DeKalb, New York Diopside crystal with exceptional transparency and color. This has a "crown" of altered Tremolite that adds a nice accent. These encrustations were usually removed by mechanical means but this is still intact and I think gives an nice touch to the crystal. Some typical contacting on the rear and one side, overall the condition is excellent with far better than usual luster.

An excellent 3.2 CM gem crystal of Diopside is well-positioned on a Tremolite matrix. A classic US specimen From the very old locale of Dekalb, New York, this is an early specimen of a type that has not been found for many years. Sharp form, good luster, transparent-gem with fine color and in great condition. Rarely seen on the market and never available in this quality. An excellent value.
