Diopside
$450.00
€430
£370.00
approx.
This specimen is priced in US dollars, all other prices are approximate.
ID: CC28767
Seiland Island is almost at the very northern extremity of Norway and is host to over twenty mineral species. One of these is the calcium-manganese silicate Diopside and this miniature is a remarkably fine example. Well defined yet slightly rounded individual Diopside crystals form a three-dimensional mass with good crystals covering every face of the specimen. The largest crystal measures 2.9 cm long and all have a brilliant glassy lustre. Although no more specific locality can be given than Seiland Island in the far north of Norway, it is from Alta in Finnmark, which narrows it to the lower half of the island.
