Description

The crystals are up to 13mm on edges. The cubes are sharp terminated, very translucent (it does not need any backlight to see the phantoms, also photography was done only under daylight), faces are partly glossy. The outer zone is colorless and the center shows a sharp terminated, dark violet phantom. The specimen was very difficult to photograph, it is really much better in person. Translucency, tridimensional assemble are really much more impressive in person. No significant damages to report. Highly recommended, you really need to see in person to appreciate it.
