Description

These elongated crystals with this exceptional habit are very rare and were found only in this area, at no other locality world-wide! Usualy they are very dark or show etched, dull faces - not so here: the termination is sharp, teh faces are glossy and the crystals shows very good traslucency. It didnßt need any backlight to show all these amazing steps of colors. Developed as floater and in excellent condition damage-wise.
