Description

Most material from Okorusu is green, blue green, sometimes with violet zonings - yellow crystals represent an outstanding rarity; this stuff came already decades ago and never again; quantity was very low! The particular specimen shows two large, intergrown main crystals (up to 65mm on edges) with lustrous faces and attractive texture. The color is really amazing and very intense. Backside was on the rock.
