Description

This crystal features a fantastic range of color! The lower area shows different steps of green, which turns to light lavender color and finally there is incredible red-purple area below the pyramidal end-point. Only the top needs minor back-light to expose it´s color. I show two images with backlight and one under daylight. The faces are highly lustrous, the crystal is complete and on same high quality all around. Even for Brazil - this is magnificent!
