Item Description
This piece comes with a label from the legendary mineral dealer, Hugh A. Ford. Since the piece has Ford's Wall Street address, the label dates between 1947-1956, so it's at least 60 years old, and most likely older. The label simply states that it's from Kimberly. A very sharp and well-formed, gemmy, natural (unheated) honey colored octahedron with distinct faces. A complete "floater" of these classic Diamond crystals from South Africa.
