Item Description
Very seldom will you see a large Charcas danburite specimen of this beauty, quality and form. Striking, radiating sprays of frosted danburite crystals, some with glassy terminations, and all with classic chisel terminations are festooned on the undulating matrix of lustrous black sphalerite. The few broken crystals, for such intense coverage, have negligible impact on the overall fine aesthetics of this piece. Ex Dave Stoudt Collection. Valued at $800-1000.
