This is the best Russian danburite I've seen in over 10 years of sourcing these. The color is a rich, gemmy cognac and its in great condition. The termination is pristine, and there's only one very small nick on the backside edge. The crystal weighs 24 grams, and it comes with a color-matching 3 carat oval stone. The stone is bright and has one tiny inclusion underneath the pavillion, which is not visible from any further than about 2 feet away. I recently became aware that the rich color saturation is due to modern exposure to radiation, so the price has been dramatically reduced.
