This gwindel is waterclear, it doesn´t show any internal cracks - barely flawless and it is the very appreciated version of closed gwindel. The color is warm red-brown. All faces are very lustrous. Well crystalized all around, only a very small area at the bottom was on the rock. No significent damages to report, very fine quality!
