Description

Great old classic from this famous locality. The crystal is sharp terminated and highly lustrous with amazing texture all around. The pyramidal modified end-points make this crystal even more attractive - the size with over 9cm is very impressive, too. Typically for Santa Rosa - the upper third is very translucent; photos were done without backlight under daylight conditions. The lower part would need backlight; then you will see also green-blue areas and dark blue with touch of violet. Out of one of Europe´s leading private collections - Ex Fabian Wildfang coll.
