Description

 A very good specimen for Okorusu. Usually most crystals are inter-grown - not aesthetic and in common no isolated or exposed crystals. This one shows a complete, sharp terminated main crystals at the top of the piece. Also the translucency is exceptional - it needs only minor backlight to expose this outstanding colors - the saturation is much better than from common material; this is really emerald green with dark purple zoning along edges and corners and these colors are even better in person. All indicators are so high over average, this is really exceptional quality; even for a locality of this relevance. No significant damages to report.
