Item Description
Gemmy, rich golden-amber bastnaesite crystals from recent finds at Zagi Mountain, Pakistan. This an aesthetic floater, pristine cluster of sharp crystals with textbook hexagonal form for this RARE cerium carbonate. These crystals have stellar intense color, gemminess, luster, and form. The bottom is contacted, but has no damage, per se. It is from this find that redefines what the average collector can get for the top of the species. A very fine, above average example from this find. Valued at $500-700.
