Description

Please not that I didn´t use any backlight for the photos! This is the natural color under daylight. The crystal shows exceptional luster, sharp termination and it is really gemmy. This quality in combination with this color is most rare. Minor chlorite crystals to the right hand side helps to give a lot of contrast to this wonderful thumbnail. Luster and color are even better in person. The crystal is also sharp develoepd backside and also quality and luster are not less good at the reverse.
