Item Description
Natural citrine quartz crystals of good quality are uncommon worldwide. This striking small cabinet is a doubly terminated floater with totally different looking terminations highlighted by the nifty doubly terminated sidecar crystal. The lustrous, transparent, gemmy crystal has rich golden-amber color with stepped-growth and lightly frosted faces. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. An out-of-sight face on the steep termination is lightly contacted, but has no damage, per se and the lower termination has very trivial bruising. Oustanding and facinating material, with very exotic form. This new find from Zambia elevates the species.
