Description

The locality produced a lot of quantity, but as always really good quality is not too common. Most specimen show good clarity and luster - but usually there are damages, not aesthetic assemble or other compromises. And that´s what makes this one stand out the crowd. It is unadamaged, complete all around and the assemble with exposed main crystals is really aesthetic. The crystals don´t show inclusions - what you see on my photos is the texture of the faces backside - in fact the crystals are nearly flawless. Hard to photograph, better in person.
