2.21 cts

Ex. Florence Mecke Collection

Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

A unique and showy old time example of diamond from Russia!!! This specimen consists of a gorgeous, octahedral diamond crystal that exhibits complex, stepped, concentric triangular faces on each octahedron face - the overall effect is quite striking in person!!! Although it is difficult to discern in the pics because of its complex form - the crystal is bright and gemmy within!!! The most notable feature, aside from the unique habit, is the particularly colorful RED inclusion located near one corner!!! I am not entirely certain what the inclusion is, however it shows a lively red color and light passes through it!!! The crystal has lively and dramatic play of light within!!! This unique beauty is complete and pristine all around!!! This specimen is WAY better than the pics show!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's) and was in a small suite of diamond crystals that showed particularly unique or unusual features!!!
