Description

From the famous discovery at shaft 5! The crystals are in very best condition, they never saw the sun-light, no alteration at all! The faces are highly lustrous, color is amazing, edges are sharp and end-points are developed in tiny, sharp steps. Many specimen show lot of intergrown crystals, but not so here - only two isolated and exposed crystals attractively set in the center of matrix.
