Description

This specimen is from an very old discovery in 1983, color and quality is exceptional, even for Okorusu. The crystals show a very intense and amazing blue-green color. Please note, this is not caused by light-effects or backlit - that´s the natural color under daylight. The crystals are all sharp terminated, they show high clarity and sharp cyan phantoms and all faces are highly lustrous. Some milky quartz help to give a lot of contrast to the piece. Hard to capture the color and the tridimensional assemble with camera, much better in person. No significent damages to report, accept the specimen was extracted from the rock.
