This is a very uncommon crystal. The lower three quarters are light grey-blue. The endpoint is sharp terminated and dark blue. This is a very remarkable and uncommon zoning, caused by two steps of genesis. Complete and sharp terminated all around, bottom was on the rock. The sides are on satiny luster, the end point is glossy!
