This specimen is literally unprecedented for the species, with 6 cm, deeply colored crystals in an aesthetic arrangement. This is from the amazing find of about 2015, which also produced fabulous gem rough material for the largest good gems cut to date. However, specimens were rare, especially with crystals above 3 cm. This piece is both elegant and significant, and for what it is should be among the best obtainable in overall balance of display qualities. no more of this quality have come out since, and they remain the best of species discovery by an order of magnitude compared to previous known specimens. Comes with a custom lucite base.
