7.2 x 2.7 x 2.2 cm Gemmy danburites are a Charcas and Mexican classic. This specimen is quite glassy, well-formed, beautifully striated with a textbook, chisel termination and a pale pink color. The crystal is essentially pristine save the base where it was removed from the pocket wall. The top most portion of the crystal is incredibly gemmy, and it's a superior example of what have to be the finest crystallized danburites in the world.
