Description

This crystal is really a gemstone! The texture and habit of this crystal is fantastic! And each of the uncountable sharp terminated faces is highly lustrous. The end point is razor sharp, too. The lower part of the crystal is milky, then - like a sharp cut - the upper thrid is completely water-clear, nearly flawless. Some periclin crystals are intergrown to the lower base and help to give even more contrast to this fantastic specimen. Photos don´t do justice to the piece, the habit is much more impressive in person.
