Description

A beautiful specimen of a group of high gloss aragonite crystals from a classic and well known locality. The crystals developed as a floater, are double terminated, and sharp all around. In the center you can see multiple second generation crystal growths. The main crystals features a darker coloration with tones of violet which gradually phase to colorless in the 2nd  generation crystals. A superb specimen with no apparent damage. The crystals have grown in a light gray sinter-like rock and are therefore particularly attractive.
