Description

The specimen was  discovered in 1995. It comes from a small cleft and was one of only a fist full gwindels. Colorless rock crystal gwindels are much more rare than their smoky cousins and should be high valued for rarity. This particular piece shows very good clarity and lustrous faces. The roation is more significant as you can see on my images, also clarity and luster are better in person.
