This crystal is MUCH MORE LUSTROUS In PERSON, LIKE GLASS! It has shockingly bright sides, with intense purple color, culminating in a lime green termination. I have seen many "mixed" crystals over the years, but few so dramatically colore dand formed as this one. It is complete all around, 360 degrees, and is nearly a floater but for a tiny contact point on the bottom. In person, you can see that there is actually most of a bottom termination present, with small faces capped in green color as well. For sheer pizzazz and unusual color contrast, my favorite in this update. It is a very dramatic specimen!
