Description

A super rare and exceptional 8cm specimen from the Bahmann collection features a whopping 6cm parasite crystal complete with double terminations.

Aegerine and quartz crystals are included in the parasite surfaces and the largest quartz crystals is heavily included with epidydmite sheets.

The condition is outstanding.
