Citrine on Danburite (rare combo for the locality)

Item Description

Danburite is found in plenty of world localities, but the crystals from Charcas are the finest examples of the species known. This piece isn't your typical Danburite from Charcas, it's special because it's studded with a few good quality Citrine crystals, creating an incredibly rare association from this locality. I've only seen a few of these specimens over the years, and this miniature is a great example as it is not only good quality but rather showy. The Citrine crystals measure up to 7 mm and are all sharp, lustrous and gemmy, with an attractive golden-yellow hue sitting on a translucent white / colorless Danburite prism with a classic "chisel-shaped" termination. The piece is in good condition overall, with only minor roughness on the lower portion. If you collect gem crystals, Mexican minerals or just unusual association specimens, do not miss out on this attractive miniature from this famous locality.
