Description

When you look at the first photo in the gallery and then compare tot he second one, you would not even think that this ist he same specimen! But it is ! the vertical stratiation is only at the front-side, the second photo shows the specimen rotated to the side  and now it looks completely different! A really crazy little, sharp terminated cube of intense electric blue halite!
