Description/Interesting Notes:
This is a terrific collection of natural diamond crystals from South Africa!!! This group of specimens actually came out of some
old collection material and exhibit an impressive variety of forms, habits, and colors!!! There are a number of fine specimens in this group of 22 individual specimens!!!
There are macle twins, classic octahedral crystals, highly complex curvaceous forms, and forms that defy description!!! A significant number of the crystals
are quite bright and gemmy!!! The crystals have colors that range from colorless to light yellow to GOLD yellow (it looks amber in the pics but the color is
quite exceptional, and gemmy, in person), and to "fancier" hues as seen in the two smaller crystals that exhibit distinct bluish and bluish green hues (better
appreciated in person)!!! While the few smallest crystals measure just over 1mm, the majority of the crystals are much closer to the 3mm mark!!!
The pics hardly do this group of specimens justice - each specimen could easily stand alone on its own merits!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
