Description

This amazing specimen is well developed all around. It consists of razor sharp stepped crystals, which developed uncountable steps and edges. All of them are highly lustrous. On one side you can see tiny quartz crystals of second generation, which are covered with a light beige dolomite layer, which helps to give great visual impact and lot of contrast to this piece. Hard to photograph, much better in person. No significant damages to report.
