Item Description
Danburite specimens from the famous Type Locality are rare and are seldom on the market. Sugary, gemmy and lustrous, dark tan to coloress, prismatic, microcrystals cover the matrix of massive danburite. This is a rich and outstanding rarity from this extinct, historic locality. Probably material from the 1800s. The base has been sawed to enhance the display quality. Ex Will Henderson Collection.
