Description

An exceptional rarity! From a small find in the mid of the 70ties. The occurance was 30 feet below the surface and the minerals used a pail on a rope to haul the specimen out of the shaft. The crystals are modified octahedrons, they show greenish color and red phantoms. Very interesting, beautiful, aesthetic and very rare specimen!
