Description

A marvellous crystal - intense pink saturation at the base and a large area of grass-green color. The concentration of color is exceptional - even for this famous locality. The crystal shows excellent clarity and highest translucency, It doesn´t need any backlight to expose this color. Only the pink area at the base needs minor backlight - the first photo shows the crystal with minor backlight to the lower base, the second photo was done only under daylight. The luster is on high level all around, the payramidal end-points are glossy, too. There is a minor, very thin pink zoning at the top, barely visible - but present. This detail is not visible at my photos.
