A rather large, gem Diopside "nugget," is nestled inside a sky blue calcite Matrix. It has some depth to it, as the color deepens within it. The Diopside is an attractive canary yellow color (with just a hint of green), and is well set with accompanying small diopside "pebbles." (pic #3c is back of piece)
