Item Description

Excellent cluster of gemmy, yellow Sturmanites in an attractive cluster. This cluster, up to 2 cm across, distinctly shows the sharp hexagonal form of the crystals, and it is dramatically highlighted by two gemmy, 4 mm crystals that stand apart from the main cluster. Even in normal light, looking down on the cluster you can tell the gemminess in each and every one of the Sturmanites. On a deep, cinnamon-brown matrix which adds an exceptional, complimentary contrast to the lovely yellow of the crystals. A terrific specimen from a great mine, from the Charlie Key Thumbnail Collection- and one of the finest in this size range I can imagine, for sheer pizzazz
