A natural history specimen featuring a dense cluster of translucent, honey-to-amber hued crystals with multiple polyhedral terminations. The specimen presents a saturated orange-brown colouration consistent with varieties such as spessartine garnet or citrine quartz. It is secured within a rectangular silver mount, which possesses a plain, unadorned surface and a dull, oxidised finish. The mount and specimen are presented in a vintage-style hinged jewellery box, featuring a black textured exterior and a dark flocked interior with a cream-coloured padded lining to the lid. There are no maker marks, hallmarks, or locality labels present on the specimen, mount, or packaging.
