Item Description

Crystallized Clinohumite is not very common on the market, and typically the crystals have dark earthy colors and are often opaque or microscopic. This is wonderful crystal, of gemmy quality of this unusual and beautiful orange Clinohumite that is widely considered to be the world 's best of species. This crystal actually is in very good shape, with only a slight "rub" near the termination, but overall it's a great little example of this rare material. It is very gemmy and bright with well-formed faces.
