Description

This is very rare material from a discovery about 2 years ago. The specimen is develoepd as floater and should be high ranked for the rare locality (defunct since decades before this new project which only produced a fist full of good pieces) and for the remarkable, spectacular dimension of the main crystal - it is 33mm across! It shows olive green color, it is sharp terminated and faces are glossy! No significant damages to report.
