Description

This specimen is from old discoveries at Naica mine and the quality is really fantastic. The faces show best luster and the crystal is like cut glass, optical! There are no inclusions, just inter-grown matrix on one face at the backside. And you can look at iut via front-display, depending on angle this effect cause wonderful reflections and amazing different views. Photos don´t do justice to it; even better in person.
