A crystal of danburite that is just about as gemmy as any you will ever see, with a very slight pink blush to it. Though danburite crystals are not rare, this one is exceptional enough that it can hold its own in a gem crystal collection. It actually came out of an old collection in New York. 5.5 x 2.6 x 1.7cm
