Item Description
Diamonds are obviously one of the most well known gemstones in the world. They occur in virtually every color of the rainbow (including black) and are prized for the extreme durability and fire. Here we have a really cool 10-crystal set of sharp, well-formed cubic "floater" crystals of Diamond, all measuring approximately 3 mm, and covering a nice range of colors. You can see each of them is distincly different from the others in terms of color ranging from silvery-white to shades of yellow and green with warm golden hues mixed in. A great set of crystallized Diamonds from the Miba Mine in D. R. Congo. All of the crystals show good internal translucency when backlit. The faces have good luster and the crystals look beautiful under magnification. These are good sized Diamond crystals that would make a wonderful addition to any collection, or might possibly be a match for a cut stone(s) to create a wonderful rough and cut set ! A classic "floater" crystal set from one of the most prolific Diamond producing nations in the world. The set came to us with a retail price of $1,750.
