Description

Great old classic - an intense green modified crystal with pyramidal end-points from the famous "Rocket-pocket" at Pederneira mine. It is very transparent, so I didn´t have to use any backlight for my photos. The faces are all very glossy! Repaired, no contacts or significant damages to report.
