A single SHARP crystal with absolutley GLASSY luster, and complete all around except for a few contacts on rear faces....this is a very good citrine for this locality in particular and for ANY US locale. Most large citrine crystals come from Brazil or perhaps Russia now. Good citrines of this size from the US are not common. This is likely a historic specimen, though how old I cannot say, but it has been in a collection now for some time. The color is vibrant, not pale, and the luster again is absolutely killer...almost waxy. It is a dramatic US specimen that stands out, not "just" another quartz
