The specimen is develoepd as floater and the main crystal is up to 52mm across. The termination of all crystals is very sharp and there is a really nice contrast between faces with green chlorite layer and white faces without layer. All faces - also the green ones with layer - are very glossy. Very tridimensional assemble - hard to photograph, much better in person.
