Description
A cluster of glassy and translucent, rich tan-colored danburite crystals, to 5 cm in length. The color is a bit unusual. They are aesthetically perched on a sliver of limonite matrix. Frankly, I can't remember seeing another cluster with this rich tan color. The 3-dimensional splay of the crystals makes this piece very impactful, and a bit different than others
