An old-time specimen of a cluster of blocky, moderately lustrous, tan danburite crystals set in matrix from a classic New York locale - Russell, St Lawrence County. The isolated, blocky crystal is 2.4 cm. Not pretty to look at, this is a very highly representative, old-time specimen from this historic locale. Accompanied by an expertly handwritten, faded label from an older collection. The collection this came out of was a museum stash dating to prior to World War I.
