Item Description
Natural citrine quartz crystals of good quality are uncommon worldwide. This impressive, elongated, tapered, water-clear, obelisk has pretty golden-amber color and lightly frosted termination faces. Interestingly, on this crystal, the amber color becomes progressively lighter toward the termination. Complete all-around and in very good shape, overall. The termination has only barely noticeable bruising and the contacting at the base is noted, but has very limited bruising. Excellent and facinating material. This new find from Zambia elevates the species.
