This is a very gemmy, transparent crystal that has attached to it and accenting it a number of translucent purple lepidolites. It is perfect all around and terminated niceloy atop with a faint green cap. In person, it is much less overexposed than it appears and has a pleasing pink-red color classic for the mine. I exchanged this directly from Bill for another Himalaya I had, and it is out of his personal collection (he worked the mine from the late 1970's through 2000 when major mining operations ceased). It is of superb quality!
