Description

Best color, fine balance, highest luster, perfect aesthetic. An excellent specimen at high quality! One face shows an amazing detail, it seems something was intergrown, but removed during genesis. This area is completely recrystalized in uncountable micro steps. I tried to show this on a close-up, but I guess I fail - much better in person.
