On one end of this specimen are two large, extraordinary intergrown crystals measuring 3 cm along the edge, with very clear DOUBLE phantoms: frosted purple, inside of a sharp thin purple band, inside a layer of gemmy teal-blue! Between the larger crystals on this specimen are very small, sparkly crystals of a later generation, which make the whole specimen really glitter. There are accenting quartz points as well, and sparing muscovite. 10.6 x 6.6 x 4.4cm
