Description

This is a complete crystal - not extracted at the base; it´s a floater with sharp edges all around. The luster is exceptional, as good as it ever could be - and not only on front side, backside is on same high quality. I photographed the specimen with minor backlight to show this spectacular color of the crystal. The dimension is remarkable, even for Pakistan. No significant damages to report.
