A large pegmatite specimen hosting purple strengite crystals up to 0.4cm in cavities. This is a historic specimen with a label dating to 1967. The luster of the crystal is good. Due to the central location of the pegmatite within a village and below a church todays collecting possibilities are almost non-existent.
