Description

This is an out-standing specimen featuring a 35mm tall free-standing main crystal, which is complete and well shaped all around. Also the color is amazing and the upper quarter is even translucent! This is the highest possible quality for the mineral and the habit, the crystal size and the quality are exceptional. The contrast with matrix and the free-standing crystal give great visual impact to the piece. Undamaged.
