A really gorgeous large plate of a relatively uncommon type of quartz specimen, featuring a profusion of sharp, pretty yellow crystals to 4 cm. Minor damage, here and there, but overall in good shape. This is actually not from the Cincinnati show, but something I held onto from the Tucson show. I saw only a few of these there, and bought one, because I thought it was so different and attractive. The mineral that gives the crystals their color is NOT hematite, but apparently something more exotic; though I have not been able to determine from the Chinese what exactly it is. At any rate, an extremely showy and eye-catching specimen, and this large piece remains one of the best such I have seen to date trickle out..was priced very reasonably I thought for such a large, impressive piece, at $495. We try our best to get the colors accurate but on some pieces it is very hard. this one DOES have a rich yellow color to it, but it is not lemon yellow and is external coating, not internal to the crystal. I just wanted to be clear about that. Still, it IS colorful, showy, and near as I can tell a small and unique new find. 21 x 14.5 x 6 cm
