A stunning specimen with extremely complex geometry to its sides, and terraces of flat terminations atop. It has classic ice-blue color and extraordinary gemminess. The luster is phenomenal, especially on the sides with all the hundreds of etched facets. Complete all around 360-degrees, and fully terminated with etched faces on the sides culminating in tapered-off flat bevels atop. The juxtaposition of the two crystalline forms is striking! There is minor association with sparkly off-white lepidolite. 9.9 x 7.5 x 7.0 cm
