Description

A very aesthetic group of three sharp terminated crystals. The clarity is like glass, the saturation is as good as it could be from Berbes! The crystals show several, razor sharp, thin phantoms. The faces are plan and show the the very best luster you can imagine. The backside consists of uncountable tiny sharp steps - so when you look at the specimen via front-display you see the steps and texture on the backside - really like glass! The photos were done under daylight, the second photo in the gallery shows the backside.
