Killer, highly lustrous, sharp, prismatic bright apple-green hexagonal crystals, from the famous old time finds of the 1960s. This has the waxy luster and classic color that made these, and still does, totally unique. Note that this passed through two very respected French dealers to get to Alex over several decades: from Francois Lietard to Chris Gobin.
