Item Description

Natural citrine quartz crystals of good quality are uncommon worldwide. This impressive, doubly terminated, 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 bruise on one side is out-of-sight in the display view. 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 $145, included for free. Valued at $1000.
