A very UNUSUAL STAK NALA Piece with far more translucency than usual, and more infusion of the pink zone at the prism termination (characteristic of the style form this locallity) over into the normally dark green central zone of the crystal's body. THEN, when the crystal would normally end with a green basal tip, here we have a pink overgrowth zone ON TOP OF the normal green basal termination. This is the most unique Stak Nala miniature I have ever seen, and is just much more colorful than usual as well because of that extra pink zone and the oil-on-water look of the two color layers mixing in the middle. The crystal is a complete floater, and doubly-terminated
