A very rare, relatively large, matte-finished greenish-brown crystal group from this old DANA location. Such old pieces are extremely hard to obtain and I haven't actually had any for sale before! The largest crystal is hoppered and exceeds 1.5cm in length. I just love the color contrast between the green secondary generation and the earlier brown generation underneath.
