It also displays a wonderful rich, lime green color with very obvious gemmy areas internally and one side displays a glassy luster while the other side more of a satin luster. The side with the glassy luster shows complex, geometric growth forms on the broad face. This little beauty has a Mass of 15.07 grams.
