Description

A great rarity from Norway - the specimen is well cut and polished at both sides. It shows several sharp inclusions - they look like hieroglyphics - and this areas are translucent. So I show one first photo under daylight, but also a second one with minor backlight - so these "hieroglyphics" are bright and luminiscent. Should be high valued for the rare locality.
