Solid specimen of pink thulite with white quartz, mostly aggregated as crystalline masses. Large and very colorful. Specimens from this locality were sold at the end of the 19th century as lapidary material and usually cut as cabochon.

Former collection Kasper (Switzerland). Pre-1970s specimen, labeled with a typo ('Lexvik)', which personally I love :)
