Description

Please note that the green cap is not a result of any back-light, this is clear visible even when the crystal is lying in a box! The crystal is sharp terminated and highly lustrous all around with pyramidal, modified end-points - they are also all sharp, there are no contacts or damages at all. The green color at the top shows a remarkable intensity - the visual impact is really great!
