Item Description
Russian citrine specimens are very difficult to come by. This is a dramatic and beautiful, rare CABINET cluster. The crystals are very gemmy, with the beautiful and distinctive golden-yellow color peculiar to the best Russian citrines. The citrines in the core are largely pristine but there is admittedly some dings here and there, and some broken crystals on the periphery should be noted. It is nevertheless a striking piece and the size and color saturation make it noteworthy. From a small find of (2006-2007), this is one of the larger specimens I have seen. valued $750
