Description

Purple to light lavender colors give great visual impact to this nice crystal. The translucency and clarity is very good - it didn´t need any backlight for photography to expose the colors. The end-point consists of countless steps, which are covered with light lavender lepidolite and the bottom shows a sharp end-point - a floater!
