Description

The main crystal is 15mm tall. It shows sharp termination, nice texture and fine luster - and it is double terminated. The contrast to light matrix is very fine and the assemble looks very aesthetic. This is very rare material - usually named as "blue quartz" - I think it is more black and with backlight more greenish than blue. Anyway - very exceptional material and hard to obtain.
