Description

This is a really good specimen from this new find. Most items I saw are damaged, often visibly damaged. Only a few ones are with very minor dings. This is caused by the way the specimens were build, no floaters are known. On the other hand the specimens are not treated very good by most miners in Indonesia.
This specimen is in very good condtion and shows a very fine quality. The violet balls have a fine silky luster with an intensive color. On top there's a second generation wich is colorless, this causes a very nice contrast and even more attraction.
