A sharply terminated, rare crystal of this style from the famous old Aracuai Mine, in Brazil's gem district of Minas Gerais. This perfect, single crystal is a classic style of the 1960s, and is exceptionally gemmy. The termination is completely symmetric, whereas most crystals today may not be equally thick all around the center. It is a very old style, seldom seen for sale. From the collection of Carl Acosta of Los Angeles. 42 grams.
