Single Crystal

Cabinet (10-18 cm)

Description

The crystal reaches a remarkable size even for Elmwood. It shows highly lustrous surfaces and is very sharp-edged, so all in all top quality for this world-famous locality. The upper part shows an intense color, in the light lower part you can see slightly violet tones in the center of the crystal. This is very unusual and may be due to fluorite inclusions.
