An extremely sharp, colorless, clean diamond crystal measuring about 5 mm from point to point imbedded in a dark gray kimberlite matrix. The crystal exhibits the extreme adamantine luster that the species is known for. The xl is perfect with absolutely no damage and is totally unrepaired and original in its matrix! From a find in the 1980's, specimens like this are extremely rare now.
