AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An excellent little miniature Clinozoisite from a couple of small finds made in alpine-type clefts around the year 2000 in the Pakistani Himalayas. This specimen is a really well-composed and balanced specimen that features a pair of color-changing gem clinozoisite crystals that become an intense apple green under artificial light and a golden yellow color under the sunlight, which are aesthetically set on top of a couple of intergrown porcelain-like adularia crystals that feature no contacts or breaks and appear lightly coated along with the clinozoisite crystals by a light layer of extremely tiny biterminated quartz crystals. This specimen has no damage and is a complete floater.
