DIOPSIDE6

This beautiful fat Diopside is bright, gemmy and facet grade. It has embedded graphite on one side that adds a pleasant contrast to the otherwise brilliant faces and sharp edges. 28.8 carats. Damage free except for a very tiny chip out of the backside edge (less than 1 mm, needs a loupe to see it). Remember apple flavored Jolly rancher candy?
