Description

Old US classic! The color of crystals is very dark with tones of orange, darker color is caused by inclusions of coronadite. All crystals show razor-sharp termination and mirror-like, perfect luster. Although it looks nice on my photography I have to note that assemble is and impression is still much better in person. No significent damages to report.
