Item Description

A pretty crystal of Danburite with good sharp lustrous faces and even a decent amount of internal gemminess. It's mostly colorless, but the inclusions give it a bit of a golden color. The Bor Pit is known for producing some excellent Danburites, though they are few and far between today. Typically the Danburites are associated with Datolite, so this one is a bit more unique in my mind since it's free of associations.
