This elegant crystal splays outward from its base, widening from 2 cm to 2.5 cm by the time it crests at its widest point just under the termination. The crystal is complete-all-around, 360-degrees. It has extremely high luster and the most intense green color this locality produces, before a transitional clear zone under the termination. The termination is complete-all-around, and its apex is so intensely maroon in color, it is almost purple in person (the camera cannot capture the luster and the color precisely). From mining in 2008. Weighs 59 grams.
