Description

This gwindel is amazing! It is, in person, so clear, and so clean, and so lustrous, that it will blow you away. It is the typically Rufibach quality with this unique smoky-brown colour and a hue of orange. Matrix-gwindels are this kind of alpine specimens with most desire and this specimen is showing a nice twisted, pristine 6,4 cm-Gwindel set on a group of excellent defined, gemmy Smokies. No restoration and no repairs as well. Minor imperfection at single smokies are hard to see and even not really worth to be reported. This is a superb 360° specimen and would brighten up every collection especially for highest demands. And the history of the Rufibach cleft is so dramatic, successful and sad as well,- and this specimen features that alpine history.
