Description

A really stunning crystal in museum size! It is sharp terminated and water-clear. The color is very dark and intense - some kind of cross-over between smoky and citrine. At the backside you can see a thin brownish layer, which gives a lot of contrast and a unique visual impression to the piece. Most likely easy to remove with some acid, but it really looks gorgeous in this origin state. The faces are all highly lsutrous and show a spectacular texture. A second crystal is intergrown at the base, bottom was on the rock.
