Description

The specimen was found in the third cavern of the Summit Cleft, about 45m inside the mountain. The summit cleft is 2650m above sea-level at the South Slope of the mountain and no more longer productive. The quality of the faces is very high with some glossy faces – unusual for this find. The crystals are up to 22mm on edges. There is a second generation of tiny, light lavender crystals – very rare. Also a small section at the backside has little green intergrown crystals.
