Description

The visual impact of this specimen is really superb, color is very intense (much better in person) and assemble is dramatic. But also the habit is exceptional. The crystal in the front shows a tabular habit, the one behind is cubic. The cubic one shows a dark blue-violet phantom. All crystals are shar terminated and show perfect luster, they are resting on small dark matrix! This material is from a recent discovery and came on the market at the Munich show in very limited quantity. No significant damages to report.
