Rare material from only one famous discovery a few years ago. The geological circumstances make it impossible to find more of this amazing material. The light blue-green crystals show a very attractive contrast to matrix. The crystals are completely etched with uncountable tiny faces - lot of interesting details, which are better visible in person. No significant damages to report.
