Gem of the Day // Dioptase from Namibia

I had a busy day so I wasnt able to post until late, but dont worry! I didnt forget about you :)

Here is a stunning Dioptase crystal from Namibia. It features incredibly clean crystal habit and a very glassy luster. This one is in a private collection.

You can view more of my collection on my website gabrielmaharshi.net
