Description

A very fine crystal, formed like a cross! It shows high clarity, like colored glass! The faces show excellent luster and texture like tiny tiles. The outer zones show only a touch of green, the center shows a concentration of color. The backside is rehealed, the specimen is a floater. Caused by clarity and luster it is nearly impossible to photograph the specimen, shwoing all important indicators at once and so I have to note that it is much better in person, it was even in my personal collection for many years. No significant damages to report.
