A rather large, excellent cluster of crystals from the location of the world's best Veszelyite, found over 30 years ago now and not found since in comparable quality. This remains the standard for the species! Excellent luster, deep blue-green color, and two good crystal terminations. A gem with unique vezy color, and really large crystals for the species as well.
