Diaspore (gem crystal) ex Obodda

Item Description

Most collectors consider these historic mines of Turkey to be the premiere source for gem diaspore crystals of any significance (from other locales, it is usually a boring rock-former). This fine 16.51 carat sharply terminated crystal has read-through clarity, fine amber color and very well-striated prism faces. This is a display quality crystal. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock, who valued this excellent gem at $500, more than five years ago.
