Description

This littel floater shows a very special indicator. The 2 paralell crystals are in fact just one crystal. You can see this at their base, that they belong to each other - the crystals in the middle were a disturbance of growth and split this crystal in 2 seperated halfs. All crystals are water-clear with these fampous dark green phantoms at a group of well shaped pericline crystals at the base. No significant damages to report - and really a fantastic, unique habit!
