Two terminated green Diopside crystals spearing through a partial Tanzanite crystal. This is a colorful and unusual specimen unlike any I can recall seeing before. The Tanzanite is thick too, with good sized transparent areas that give this piece cutting rough value. It weighs 24.58 grams (122 carats).
