Description

Here is a piece I had for many years,probably back to 2006, and trimmed recently. We have seen more clear crystals from this scarn zone and certainly more lustrous,but the piece is beautiful,the crystals are sharp and the cover could be an uncommon epimorph,although it's not examined.There is only natural contacting.
