Description

Quite uncommon material! First of all - the saturation is crazy good fro Romania. I used minor backlight, but even under daylight (on the thrid photo in the gallery) this piece shows out-standing color for Romania. And the second important indicator is the habit - the main crystals are "negative-zepters" and this small zepter-head shows snoy white color. Should be high valued for color and habit!
