In the entire region of Rauris there were never Gwindels - the only exception was one cleft in entire history discovered in 1976 and it includes only 7 specimen. Unfortunately this specimen is not one of these gwindels, but it is from this famous historic cleft! And it is a magnificant specimen. It is developed as floater, the crystals show fantastic quality, excellent luster, flawless clarity and highest aesthetics. The photos don´ßt do justice to this superb floater! A historic specimen, undanmaged, floater - a true alpine treasure of highest relevance.
