Description

This is a really uncommon and rarely seen type from Erzberg. The specimen consists of grey aragonite, which developed a floater. In the center you can see a depression, like a bird-nest which shows vivid blue-cyan color. Great contrast, spectacular visual impact. Really amazing and exceptional! No significant damages to report.
