Item Description

Russian citrine specimens are very difficult to come by. This is a dramatic and beautiful crystal with striking presence. The crystal is a water-clear gem, with the beautiful and distinctive golden-yellow color peculiar to the best Russian citrines. The interior phantoms are mesmerizing. Complete all-around, with a minor bit of termination edgewear, that is mostly out of sight and a contact on one side - all trivial in context. From a small find of 5 years ago (2006-2007), this is one of the largest and finest single crystals we have seen from this locality. Ex Robert Nowakowski Collection. Valued at $500-750
