Description

A sharp terminated, lustrous rubellite crystal. The color is very intense with amazing different steps of pink, nearly red. The translucency is very good, specially for a crystal with more than 3cm diameter. It is this 35mm diameter which also gives a very impressive visual impact to the crystal, it looks larger than it is in person! There is one chip along one edge at the backside, no other damages to report, bottom was on the rock.
