Description

You are bidding on a single, pale yellow-brown, completely transparent diamond from one of the more unusual of the US localities for the species. The diamond was given to Dan as a gift by Al Kidwell in 1987. Very hard to come by! Comes with Dan's original index card. He did not photograph the sample. 

This sample is from the collection of Dan Behnke, long-time friend, micromounter and prodigious photographer. I am pleased to be able to offer selections from his large collection, many of which are illustrated specimens in Rocks & Minerals, The Mineralogiocal Record, Photo Atlas of Minerals and many other publications. All samples from his meticulously catalogued collection will come with his original index card with all notes, photography annotations and other pertinent information, as well as any slides Dan may have taken of the sample with publication notes and date the photo was made.
