Description

Very rare material from Russia in exceptional size! The crystal is developed as floater, the last photo in the galery shows teh bottom, which also consists of sharp end points. The faces show lot fo texture and windows, which reminds to alpine material. The color is a mixture of smoky and amethyste tones - both colors with very good saturation. The crystal looks great in all angles and all faces are very glossy. There was minor roughness to some edges, but overall it is in very good condition. Should be high ranked for dimension and rare locality. Hard to photograph, much better in person.
