Description

One of the two pieces I know of of this style from the classic locality,this is a super rare style from the locality!The crystals large,translucent on the edge,with sceletal multiple faces!A close examination show the two diffent styles of crystals side to side,with the crystals on one side being the standard habit for big crystals from the area and the other side crystals showing the new style of modified edges and micro faces!There is no damage and a crack in the middle is natural and recrystalized with no effect on stability!
