Description
A superb example of this very rare species, from a single pocket collected about 2 years ago that features unusually large, unusually translucent, unusually pretty pastel green crystals. This specimen has one fairly clean repair to the backside of the main crystal, as shown in the lower photo. Hence, it is priced at $250 instead of $1000. Still, it is relatively a bargain and both displays well and hosts a major crystal for the species.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
