Item Description
A fine quality example of what are some of the best Richterites ever found. This piece is a notably sharp and highly lustrous, gemmy, soft golden-yellow colored Richterite crystal, free of matrix. The Richterite and the shows a beautiful fluorescence under UV light. An attractive overall piece of this material which has not appeared on the market for a several years now in any significance. Please note that some of these crystals were labeled as Winchite originally, but from what I've seen, they all tested out as Richterite. Don't miss out on this one as the deposit might be nearly exhausted since very few new specimens have found their way out of the ground. A great gem crystal display specimen for any collector of rarities.
