Description

First I have to note, that the images don´t do justice to this remarkable crystal. It shows wonderful modofications and many exciting details all around, I would say there is no less attractive angle. The crystal is water-clear and shows a very light smoky color. On one side down to the lower base it shows drk, nearly black inclusion which help to give great contrast to the piece. The faces are highly lustrous, their texture is very attractive too. The specimen is developed as floater - the bottom consits of tiny sharp faces. No significant damages to report.
