Description

This is an amazing floater from this famous locality. The crystal is in best quality, the faces are lustrous and the clarity is excellent. There are no inclusions - what you see on my photo are the crystals of second generation at the backside, you can see throuh the crystal like glass. The second photo in the gallery shows the specimen rotated a little bit to the side, the third photo shows the intergrown crystals at the backside. Again - only photos, they don´t show the excellent clarity and the luster in the best way, much better in person. No significant damages to report.
