Description

This is an outstanding specimen for the locality. Crystal size, color and zoning is exceptional! The crystals are all very glossy and freestanding! They are very light along edges and corners, but they show a dark concentration of color in the centers. Although some crystals show chipping, caused by the size and color this specimen is of very high relevance for the locality!
