Description

The crystal is water-clear, all faces are lustrous, minor chlorite is inter-grown to the faces. The end-points are completely covered with dark chlorite. Luster and clarity are hard to capture with the camera - in person this crystal shows amazing quality and great contrast with chlorite. Material from the locality is from the area around the peak elevation and very hard to obtain.
