Item Description

Clinohumite specimens are rare from the well-known Hunza Valley. This fine and showy combination piece is highlighted by the 1.3 cm, sharp, lustrous, deep purple, spinel crystal aesthetically set at the crown on a large, lustrous, yellow-orange, clinohumite crystal. The back of the piece reveals, that this is a very large, 3.9 x 3.5 cm crystal with zones of good gemminess. The sugary marble matrix gives the piece character and contrast. Very seldom on the market in this combination and quality. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
