Merelani, Umba Valley, Lelatama Mountains, Arusha Region, Manyara Region, Tanzania
29mm x 22mm x 23mm
minID: CFK-X0H
The gem Diopside crystals from Merlani are modern classics and can have brilliant form as seen here. The color is a yellow to pale greenish hue and the crystals are complete all around, undamaged and statuesque. The contrast with the Graphite adds a nice balance and the complex modified terminations are very distinctive. Good luster with gem clear areas but more translucent than transparent overall.
