Description

Rare rock crystal from this world-famous locality. The larger vertical crystal is also end-pointed, it was only very difficult to show this indicator on the photos. At the top you can see an inter-grown horizonal crystal, which gives the visual impact of a "T" to the specimen. Both crystals show a very nice texture and good luster, the clarity is better in person.
