Description

Famous material from a more recent discovery in the last years. The crystals are very glossy, sharp terminated and show this very beautiful, dark yellow color. The crystals don´t need any backlight; photos were done under daylight. At some crystals you can see razor sharp, blue zoning. Not all of these crystals from the discovery show this amazing blue phantoms! Minor chalkopyrite is intergrown to some faces. No significant damages to report, backside was on the rock.
