citrine quartz (japan-law twin)
Kalumo, Mansa District, Luapula Province, Zambia
14 x 12 x 5 cm
The crystals are colored a deep, rich golden yellow, and are gemmy and nicely translucent (this is due to a light frosting on the back side of the crystals; the insides are transparent).
The terminations are both in the chisel-tip style, and the specimen is remarkably damage free, save for some very small chips on one termination (they look like they are the result of pocket collapse, rather than collecting damage).
Acquired direct from the mine owner, Peter Beckwith (mining in 2015).
