Description

A high lustrous Grossular crystal on Matrix. The luster is much better than on the pics visible. The video shows the luster better but also not perfect. No damages. Some small trace of matrix can be visible on the crystal. But for sure this quality is one of the best from Mali. Less than 1% of all specimens from there show that quality. A really fine piece!! The crystal is translucent and shows a fine yellow color.

Please also watch the video in HD!!!
