Wholesale Dioptase from the Republic of the Congo

Dioptase is only known from a few world localities in fine quality specimens. Recently there was a find of excellent quality Dioptase specimens in the Pool Region of the Republic of the Congo. The top pieces from this recent find, although lesser known, are among the best we have seen from this county. We recently purchased a lot of these new specimens and decided to post a page of wholesale pieces to the site. All of the pieces are very reasonably priced, and in fairly good shape for the material.
