Synthetic Zincite xls (Schlichter Coll.)

Item Description

These synthetic zincite crystals from Poland have amazing forms, colors and gemminess and this thumbnail is a very fine example. The gorgeous, gemmy, cherry-red large crystal is doubly terminated and looks like a faceted ruby or cut glass. The adjacent crystal of this sculptural piece is composed of tiny, intergrown, golden-yellow crystals. These beautiful specimen were lab grown for decorative purposes or as a collectible. Seldom available in this quality as crystalline specimens, though. Ex Ernie and Vera Schlichter Collection. Valued highly for color and aesthetics.
