This specimen has outstandingly lustrous, deep purple crystals to about 8 mm in size, radiating out from contrasting matrix. It is a super example of the amazing and unique find of this material from the early 1990s (1991, I believe.) These are very difficult to find, nowadays! Size doesn't matter...although a small specimen, it has great crystals and the price is fair. Most specimens of any quality will go for over $1000 now.
