Description

The specimen shows a group of 3 exposed main crystals. All crystals show emerald green color (and color is much more better in person - the camera is not able to capture this intense kind of green saturation). All crystals are sharp and highly lustrous with very attractive texture on all faces and also the translucency is on a very high level. The specimen is complete all around - teh thrid photo in the gallery is not a different angle of the front-side - itis the backside of the piece!
