Description

Very old specimen, the former owner got it in 1958. 

The specimen is outstanding, I am fascinated of the assemble. The crystals are all inter grown, but you can look trough them – many holes between the crystals, absolutely amazing assemble. The color is white with touch of pink and concentration of yellow at some tips. The faces are glossy. The assemble is very fragile and elegant, really exceptional – the photo didn´t show it in the best way, in person it is really better.

It is developed as floater and undamaged.
