Description

The specimen is fantastic: 20cm covered with highlylustrous, sharp terminated, glassy and intense yellow crystals. With dark matrix on one side, the contrast is superb! Although there are uncountable crystals, there are no significant damages - all these hundreds of crystals are in excellent quality from bottom to top! Even a 5cm specimen in this quality is already hard to obtain and on high prices on the common market. Only backside was on the rock.
