This bright and flashy 23mm x 18mm x 15mm matrix specimen from San Pedro Mountain showcases rare, high-quality diffraction in miniature. Though the crystals are small and a few are contacted, they radiate with vibrant lamellar iridescence—flashes of spectral color that shimmer boldly across the surfaces.
The quality of diffraction is exceptionally high for the size, with vivid bands of neon greens, blues, and violets that catch the light from multiple angles. If these crystals were larger, this piece would almost certainly have been cut into polished gems. Instead, it remains a raw, natural glimpse into the optical magic this locality is known for.
A fantastic specimen for collectors seeking brilliant diffraction and classic San Pedro character at a smaller scale.
