Description

This crystallization is not common in France, it is based on a multitude of cubes bond together to form balls. small groups retain a distinctly cubic shape although they are already composed of several hexahedral crystals. Sphericals groups should have two colors; purple or dark yellow-brown with a purple touch. Only the second has fluorescent orange color at long-waves lamp. I tried to picture under UV light, but the color is not well made.
