Item Description
Charming and quite fine cluster of five yellow Sturmanite crystals from the Nchwaning II Mine in South Africa. The main crystal, 1.4 cm tall, is doubly-terminated! and lustrous. The terminations of all the crystals are nicely beveled, which make them even more attractive and interesting. One of the minor crystals was damaged, likely during extraction, but fortunately is barely even visible from the preferred viewing angle. A very good thumbnail with excellent aesthetics.
