Description

The crystal shows perfect quality! It is sharp terminated, it shows the very best luster you can imagine and it is flawless without cracks or inclusions and the texture of faces is just amzing! Rock crystal from Austrian Alps is very rare, the localities are all inside the National Park "Hohe Tauern", field collecting is prohibited there and also clefts are much more rare as in Switzerland or France. For entire Alps this crystal would would represent finest quality, but from Austria it is much more rare. No significant damages to report.
