Description:

This is a very beautiful rock crystal with inclusions of citrine. The crystal also has rare small water inclusions. The water is enclosed in a small cavity, when the crystal is moved you can see the small water dragonfly moving in a window. It is estimated that the water in the crystal is around 200 million years old. When illuminated, it has a great color and shines beautifully. The inclusions, some of which show a shimmer in all the colors of the rainbow or glow like mysterious mists of small water or air bubbles, make the crystal really interesting. It is reminiscent of structures from outer space, as seen in pictures taken by the Hubble telescope. The crystal was cut at the end, where it had grown, so that it stands securely on its own.

We get our crystals directly from the mines, directly from the people who excavate the stones. We regularly visit mines in person several times a year. In the mines where our crystals are found, there is guaranteed to be no child labor and we pay attention to the protection of the employees. We have documented this in a film that is regularly shown in the museum. The miners receive a fair price for their crystals.
