Description

Hardangervidda is well known for the very best anatse crystals world-wide - but this particular specimen is nothing on average; the dimension of 28mm in spectacular. Crystal are usually 15 to 20mm, and even this is a remarkable dimension, but 28mm in really a giant. The crystal is developed as floater. Please note that there is no significant damage - there are several steps where it probably has not enough room to grow, but everything is natural, no chips or damages at all. All faces and even these tiny steps are sharp terminated, the luster is much better in person.
