Description

The faces are very glossy and they show the typical, very attractive texture (lloks like countless tiny squares). The translucency is very fine - the photos were done without any backlight, just under daylight - color is very natural. The crystal shows light blue color with violet phantoms and a darker concentration of violet along the edges. The crystal size is already remarkable, translucency and luster are very good!
