Description

Usually these crystals are small, pale and frosted - this is the best I saw so far. The color is very strong, intense and vivid, the crystals are sharp and up to 14 mm across and even on satiny luster. Green is the most difficult color for a camera, I just can ensure that the saturation is vene more intense in person. A truely exceptional piece from this classic locality. No significant damages to report.
