Description

The rock crystal in the front is sharp terminated and shows good luster - even the faces with intergrown chlorite are glossy. The inclusions give dark green color to the crystals and this is really a wonderful contrast to the snowy white, sharp glossy feldspat crystals all around. Great contrast, well balanced!
