Description

A very uncommon crystal - it is double terminated and looks like curved. The faces are very glossy and show a nice texture. The locality is located in the "National Park Hohe Tauern", field collecting is prohibited and only a few local collectors have a permit from the government. Clefts are very rare after decades of collecting and today it is really hard to get a good specimen in this size and quality. No significant damages to report.
