The specimen presents a quality far beyond what is known for its species.
The crystals are highly defined, and the color is excellent. A true rarity!

Each of the specimens I publish here has been personally selected by me to meet the expectations 
of the most demanding collectors. I examine hundreds of minerals and choose only 
those that meet my rigorous quality criteria.
Don't miss out on this excellent opportunity to acquire a unique specimen.
