Description

The crystal is very trasnparent, you even can see the quartz crystal which is intergrown to the backside via front-face. There are several sharp green zonings and dark blue and also black phantoms. The color is very intense and also habit is very interesting: there are small modifications (please don´t think these are dings) along the edges and one corner looks like rounded. The crystal is also complete at the sides only lower backside (where the quartz crystal is intergrown) shows a cleavage. All faces are highly lustrous, really a very eye-catching specimen!
