Description

This is a specimen from the famous discovery at Bergännisch Glück Flacher Vein. The specimen shows a dark yellow core, strong emirald green colour and thin blue to purple zoning along the edges and corners. The faces are partly glossy. The translucency is very good, moderately backlight is enough to show the beautiful internal colours. This material is from one small discovery in the mid of the 90ties and only a very low number of pieces with this saturation and this dimension exist. Usually you only can get small fragments in less quality or less good color. No significant demages to report, backside was on the rock.
