An outstanding 5cm well terminated gem green chrome dravite crystal that reveals its hidden beauty when adequately backlit.

On the surface the crystal exhibits typical dark surfaces with a distinctive green flash that glows out through the darkness hinting at some hidden feature. The termination is sharp with six facets, three large and three small and also show signs of something hidden within it.

As you expose the crystal to more light the gemmyness is revealed from behind the dark shroud. The crystal is undamaged with an attachment contact to the base only.
