Item Description

Fan-shaped crystals are the classic habit for Kutnahorite, and this outstanding cluster has four distinct fans, the largest of which is about 2.5 cm long and 2 cm wide. The color is a nice rich pink, but the unusual iridescence to the Kutnahorite makes this piece outstanding. I can't recall seeing a shimmer quite like that. As Kutnahorites go, this one is superb. Mild fluorescence.
