Description

A very attractive set of six diopside crystals from the well-known Diopsidrinne in Tyrol, featuring slender, well-developed prismatic crystals with fresh green coloration and clearly visible growth striations. The individual crystals show variation in habit and transparency, making the set visually diverse while still coherent as a locality group. Material from this occurrence has become very scarce and is only rarely available on the market today, which adds notable collector relevance to this representative and well-matched set from a classic Alpine locality.
