Quartz (var: Citrine) on Danburite (rare combo for the locality)

Item Description

Some species are closely tied to a single world locality, and in the case of Charcas, it is best known for producing the finest world-class Danburite crystals ever found. This piece has an added bonus due to the fact that it features a handful of Citrine crystals sitting, which are incredibly hard to find from this locality in my experience. I've only seen a few of these specimens over the years, and this miniature is a great example as it is good quality and showy to boot. The Citrine crystals are all sharp, lustrous and gemmy, with an attractive golden-yellow hue sitting on a translucent white / colorless Danburite prism with a classic "chisel-shaped" termination. The piece is in good condition overall, though there are a few small nicks that I can see. If you collect gem crystals, Mexican minerals or just unusual association specimens, do not miss out on this attractive piece from this famous locality.
