Description

This is very rare material, it comes from only a few clefts in a very small area. The crystals are sharp terminated, highly lustrous and water-clear - they all show very dark grey, sharp internal zoning, which is the typical indicator for this famous material. The faces are all lustrous, the contrast on glass-like rock crystals with the dark zoning is very special and unique. The crystals formed a well formed, aesthetic group. No significant damages to report.
