Description

This is an exceptional crystal. When you look at the top you can see that this is not a regular crystal - it is developed as negative-zepter! Next to this very rare habit it shows remarkable dimension, fine clarity and absolutely fantastic texture and crazy structure on all faces. The third imporatnat indicator is the rare and uncommon locality: The area is in the heart of the National Park "Hohe Tauern", field collecting is prohibited, only a fist full of local collectors have the permit to dig with hammer and chisel from the government. And so really all material is very hard to obtain in our days. No significant damages to report.
