A nice display piece from this locality featuring two large interpenetrating crystals of variable colour due to some internal impurities. With backlighting some sections show a nice golden colour. There are smaller colourless crystals lining the vugh also.

There is no damage to the main crystals, but some minor peripheral contacting is eveident. The specimen is suprisingly heavy for it's size so Postage is a little higher.
