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 a wonderful crystal of Clinohumite with fine gemmy internal quality an an unusual beautiful orange hue. The finest of these crystals are widely considered to be the world 's best of species. This crystal actually is in fairly good shape, with a few well-defined, lustrous faces, though it is contacted. Overall it's a great little example of this rare material. The color combined with the gemminess make it better than the vast majority of Clinohumites out there, as most are very dark and don't pass light well.
