Description

Most likely from M´sesa Mine, but not proofed. This specimen is exceptional - the crystal (11mm across) is sharp terminated all around and all faces cosnists of hundreds of razor sharp tiny steps. The luster of all faces is superb and the aesthetic assemble is excellent, too. Also the crystal dimension is outstanding - for the mineral and for the locality! Undamaged!
