Description

We all know geodes filled with small inter-grown crystals - this one is on a completely different level: it shows an exposed, huge main crystal which is 60 x 33 x 38 mm tall! A fantastic size - even for Madagascar. And it shows the very best color, it is sharp, all faces on highest possible luster - and even free-standing and undamaged!
