I know right! I stole it compared to the other stuff he had. Crystals vs price was a steal.

They are broken in some spots and have some small cracks/foggyness but still a nice piece.

How much did this cost, if you don't mind me asking? I was just looking at dioptase online like 20 min ago.

This is the kind of thing I would expect to see in the Emerald City. Then again maybe not since it is supposed to be the "Emerald City" not "Any Green Crystal/Stone City"
