Description

It’s all about the size! The main crystal is 5 cm wide and 2.2 cm thick. The bottom is to the most part contacted or is crystallized after broken in an early state. Very nice too is the additional epidote crystal that diagonally sits atop the massy main crystal. Very impressive and in good condition.
