Description

This variety was very rare, the discovery was years ago - today this material is unfindable and no new specimen can be expected. The termination is very sharp and faces are very glossy. The additional crystal at the base makes it look more attractive than just a single crystal. The lower half shows the typical green color as we know from common Prase, the upper half shows light Amethyste color. No significant damages to report.
