Quartz var. Citrine

Item Description

Exquisite pair of totally gem-clear, nicely terminated Citrines from what is labeled as the Northern Urals. There is a little bit of edgewear near the tips, but the overall aesthetics and quality are outstanding. Russian Citrine specimens are notoriously difficult to come by. This dramatic pair, with such a good, delicate yellow color, may very well be from the famous Olkhovka deposit in the Subarctic Urals, but we just can't know for sure. To my mind, that question does nothing to diminish the desirability of this specimen. #11,181 in Kay's collection, she acquired this in 1987.
