Description

This crystal is from a small recent discovery. It shows modified pyramidal end-points. All edges are razor sharp terminated and the crystal shows exceptional clarity and transparency! Nearly flawless and nearly no internal cracks. The color is intense green in the two lower thirds. Then it became nearly colorless. At the upper third it is intense pink to lavender. Same high quality all around, no significant damages to report - really a wonderful, little jewel.
