Description

Really an outstanding crystal in finest quality. It shows a very light, pastell-color like blue-cyan color. The end point shows a thin darker concentration of color. The crystal is double terminated and lustrous all around! And it is nearly flawless! No inclusions or cracks! This is cut-quality - a true gemstone! In this color and condition really hard to obtain. The photos show the specimen under daylight - there was no backlight or any other light effects, this is really superb clarity. No significant damages to report.
