Item Description
Natural citrine quartz crystals of good quality are uncommon worldwide. This impressive, elongated, water-clear, flattened, obelisk has rich golden-amber color and lightly frosted faces with subtle stepped-growth. The termination has a trivial bit of bruising, but is mostly on the back side. The nifty contact grooves at the base, where other crystals once lay, are essentially pristine, but these actually add character to the crystal. Complete all-around. Excellent and facinating material. This recent find from Zambia elevates the species. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $100, for free. Valued at $750.
