Description

A wonderful crystal from recent discoveries. It is sharp terminated all around (alsobottom shows an end point) and faces are much more glossy as you can see on my photography. The most specimen indicator is the color - not just yellow like most of them; a very nice mix of yellow to light green color, which looks even more attractive in person. The clarity is very fine as you can see on my photo with dark background. The photos with light background show the color very natural under daylight conditions. The end points are not sharp, but this was typically for the entire find, they don´t exist with sharp end-points. Really a very fine gem-stone in amazing color and in fine quality. No significant damages to report.
