Description

This light blue, sharp terminated and highly lustrous crystal is double terminated - and it shows a really uncommon habit, it looks like curved! I tried to show this effect as good as possible on my photography, but it is even more significant in person. No significant damages to report. From an old discovery in 2002, ex Schlosser collection.
