Item Description
This impressive, parallel-growth pair of elongated, water-clear, flattened, obelisks has rich golden-amber color. Most of the crystal faces are lightly frosted with subtle stepped-growth, but a few areas are water-clear providing windows to the gemminess and rich interior color saturation. Complete all-around and in great shape. The large termination has a trivial bit of edge wear and one out-of-sight prism face is contacted, with only a bit of bruising. The smaller crystals at the base add pizzazz. Natural citrine quartz crystals of good quality are uncommon worldwide. Excellent and facinating material. This recent find from Zambia elevates the species. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. Valued at $1250-1500.
