Item Description

Shocking, gem, highly lustrous, rootbeer-brown to golden-yellow to reddish-brown pseudo-octahedral colemanite crystals, to 1.6 cm, are festooned on the undulating mostly massive granular matrix. These dramatically attractive pieces are from a 2005 find at this obscure borate mine in Turkey. These are certainly among the most attractive and colorful colemanite specimens to come to market in the recent past. Valued at $750.
