Description

Schin George is famous for sharp green phantoms, but the locality produced only limited quantity, clefts came rare and today this material is more or less unfindable. This specimen is outstanding - the water-clear crystals are all sharp terminated and highly lustrous; they show sharp dark green phantoms and the assemble is really amazing: several crystals formed a ring around the main crystals in the center. Hard to capture clarity, lsuter and tridimensional assemble with the camera - so please note that it much better in person. This is alpine high-quality material in finest quality!
