Description

The specimen is developed as floater and in perfect condition all around. It is always hard to show fine luster on a snowy white mineral, so I have to note that luster is really much better in person. Some faces and also a few edges are powdered with greenish chlorite which gives more contrast and a great visual impact to the piece. No significant damages to report.
