Description

A novelty from Madagaska! An attractive group in which the sharpness of the crystals stands out. They stand out for their colour, billiance and the presence of extraordinarily unusual twinning formed by the interpenetration of two rombohedra. A very aesthetic assemble on light grey matrix which is covered by microcrystals of quarz.
