Description

This is an amazing crystal! First important indicator is the unusual color, not just blue - depending on angle it tends to an unusual green-blue color and saturation is very good. The second important indicator is the sharp phantom, the second photo in the galery shows the end-point via birds-view and should give you a better idea of the phantom. Most faces and also end-point are highly lustrous and the dimension with 42mm diameter is really impressive. Bottom was on the rock.
