Description

Even the crystal looks damaged it is in a very good condition. The rough seeming areas are crystallized and remind of etched pakistani Spessartine. A real giant crystal is very aesthetic positioned on mica shist matrix. The remote location was unknown and added here on e-rocks for that piece.

It is higly recommended to watch the video in HD!!
