atural Diopside Crystal Specimen on White Marble – Badakhshan, Afghanistan Stunning natural Diopside crystal specimen from the Badakhshan mines of Afghanistan, weighing 318 grams and measuring approximately 86 × 60 × 41 mm. The specimen features numerous attractive green Diopside crystals beautifully contrasting against a white marble matrix. Two prominent crystals stand out with excellent size, natural form, and well-developed crystal faces.
