Description

The specimen is typically for the locality. But while most pieces consist only of intergrown crystals without any contrast, the particular piece shows a fine contrast, because some faces are coated by a white layer. Also some of the larger crystals are exposed. The color is pink-violet, little more intense as usually. Undamged.
