Single transparent, undamaged Diopside crystal with excellent green color and a wafer-like crystal of Graphite included within the crystal near the base. This crystal is from the
famous pocket opened in December 2007 that produced crystals of exceptional color, much better than typical
Merelani Diopsides. For more information on this find, refer to page 77 of the January-February 2009 issue of
the Mineralogical Record. Great color and transparency! This is my very last one from this pocket.
