Description

A very fine specimen from recent finds in Inner Mongolia. The modified crystals are sharp, they show an amazing blue-green colour and are all about 2cm across, the largest is 22mm. The contrast and the assemble are as best as it could be. For one photo I wanted to show the internal colour and it was a great surprise when I saw that all crystals show an purple center. no significant damages to report.
