Description

This prase quartz is different from the majority we've seen. Firstly the color has a bluish hue to it. The faces are composed of many smaller doubly terminated faces with good luster. The crystals have remarkable translucency unlike most prasem and especially for such a thickness.

I have only seen this type of prasem once and I know for a fact that this is one of the best pieces from the pocket. Simply because it was my discovery, 11 years ago, back in April of 2008!
