Description

Most - I would say 95% - of all Gwindels show smoky color, colorless rock crystals are the exception! Further the most common habit is an open gwindel, the very rare exception are closed gwindels. And here we have a closed, colorless rock crystal, which is even o matrix - this is really fanatstic and represents an outstanding rarity! The Gwindel is water-clear, sharp terminated and very glossy. The assemble with small matrix at the base is very aesthetic. No significant damages to report.
