Description

This beauty shows a fantastic colour mix with a greenish to orange colour at the bottom, followed by an almost yellow area and then it fades into a smooth pink before it is turning cherry red at the top having a dark, almost black appearing, top termination. And the two crystals are even set on a small, well shaped quartz crystal - what a wonderful arrangement.
