An outstanding crystal! It is sharp terminated all around and the luster is fanatstic, like mirror-finished. The upper two thrid are water-clear, nearly flawless.

All material is from old finds or from discoveries of just a few local collectors, who have a permit for field collecting from the government. No significant damages to report.
