Description

The crystal shows perfect clarity, not even internal cracks are present - it is really like glass from bottom to the top. The habit is very unusual, as I tried to show in various angles on photography. What probably looks like inclusions on photography are red rutile needles on the faces of backside, tried to show this on a close-up photo in the gallery. All faces are lustrous, color is light smoky. No significent damages to report.
