Description

Great Austrian classic, the locality is non-productive since decades. The specimen features one isolated crystal, which is sharp terminated and lustrous. The color represents very best quality for this famous locality. The assemble is really aesthetic and it is very uncommon for Bleiberg to see an isolated exposed crystal on matrix - nearly all show just intergrown crystals.
