Small cabinet (7-10 cm)

Description

The crystals are all highly lustrous and they show a much more attractive texture as you can see on my photo. The color is light bluw to green and there are sharp thin zoning along the edges. It was more or less impossible to capture luster and color - both indicators are much better in person! More uncommon old material from this well known locality.
