Description

A complete large sphere with 30 mm diameter attractively set on matrix. The sphere is chatoyant, caused by lustrous macro-crystals - not dull or dusty. You can´t see this indicator well on a photo, so I had to mention. The matrix shows additional Pyrite and Quartz, so this is really a very aesthetic specimen with contrast and not just a cluster of inter-grown spheres like most others. The first photo shows the specimen under daylight, the second was done under artificial light and shows the light pink color in a better way. No significant damages to report.
