PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

This is a HUGE 42.9 kg Dioptase Crystal Specimen! 

This is an absolute monster! 42 kg and 59 cm Long of Emerald green crystalline exposure on Copper Dolomite Matrix! The piece stands and displays exceptionally well and the Whole Front Face is Completely Covered with Dioptase Crystals  Some of the crystals are a little milky, with some minor areas of scratches, but they are all nice deep dark Emerald Green Crystals, so despite the minor scuffing on some crystals,  the specimen is Magnificent and is still the second largest known Dioptase specimen from Congo and is not just seriously impressive, but is actually very decently priced and is stunning anyhow!

99% of Museums have FAR smaller and less impressive Dioptase specimens in their display than this one. While not remotely cheap at over $23000, it is extremely cheap for what it is and would be more like $65000-$75000 IF available in a shop or high end Mineral Dealership somewhere. (BUT probably impossible to find)

We received both the Largest Dioptase in the World (101 kg ..which we are still going to put up for sale, but would also be a magnificent centre showpiece for a Museum) ) and the second largest in the world in 2022 from Tantara Mine in Congo, which is a closed Cu deposit, but mined specifically for Mineral Specimens...and they got lucky and hit an exceptionally large pocket. Please do let us know if you have ever seen any Dioptase specimens of these dimensions, as we have searched high and low for anything else of these dimensions and have come up with nothing.

Love these!
Size: 9"
We use these quite often. I try to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible and not only are these the best value we have found for compostable plates, they are also more sturdy than traditional paper plates. I don't think I will ever go back to non compostable plates.

Better than paper plates
Size: 9"
Both convenient and sturdy...great for serving lunch and dinner...the smaller plates are great for dessert or breakfast (toast, muffins, quiche)
