Description

Areally amazing crystal! It shows a significant payramidal end-point with lustrous micro-texture. The clarity and translucency is excellent, it needs only minor backlight to show the crystal in the same way as on photography. Even without backlight the vibrant strong green color is well visible. The crystal is complete and lustrous all around, only bottom was on the rock. No significant damages to report.
