A beautiful specimen with two display sides. On the one hand, there are numerous elongated Rockcrystals. They are well developed, sharp edged and highly lustrous. Almost superb, but not all are perfect. On the other hand there is a vug, lined with excellent defined, sharp and lustrous olive Epidote, with two gemmy Rockcrystals in the center. A very good specimen.
