Diamonds!
A selection of diamond crystals, all with good crystal form. With some of the examples on this page reaching over 3 ct, a few are rather sizable. Of course, to keep them affordable there are tradeoffs with color and clarity, though I have prioritized crystal form above all.

C01 Diamond
West Africa
0.99x 0.78x 0.75 cm
$695
A great 3.22 ct diamond specimen, consisting of two intergrown octahedral crystals. This thing is quite sizable shows particularly good form-- thanks to the color and clarity it remains affordable (though still quite translucent!) though for what I've seen online this is probably half of what you see them listed for elsewhere!
For all diamonds posted, the first dimension is the. longest point to point distance, the second two dimensions are side measurements
C02 Diamond
West Africa
0.93x 0.72x 0.48 cm
$500
A great, 3.42 ct diamond specimen, consisting of a single, fairly large (as far as specimens go) slightly flattened crystal. This thing is quite sizable shows particularly good form-- thanks to the color and clarity it remains affordable (though still quite translucent!)

Diamonds are fairly abundant, but the closed supply chains and relatively high values of make them rather difficult to obtain as specimens-- particularly larger crystals like this. The crystals offered here fall short of being gem quality (imagine how many thousands a flawless 3+ ct crystal would cost!) but all display great form and size.
