Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique example of this prized gem species from Venezuela!!! This specimen consists of a complexly
modified octahedral diamond crystal the exhibits unique yellow coloration as well
as dramatic green fluorescence!!! While it is difficult to capture in the pics, this specimen is quite
unique in person and exhibits a distinct yellow to slightly yellow green color that has
an almost internal "glow" to it!!! I am told that this specimen owes its unique and pronounced
fluorescence to trace amounts of uranium (although I cannot verify this)!!! This specimen is
sharp, glassy, complete, and undamaged!!! This specimen has wonderful, gemmy clarity - however
it is difficult to capture in the pics due to its complex form (however it is immediately apparent in person)!!!
This is a very unique and handsome example of this prized gem species!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY OCTOBER 25th!!!
