A sizeable gem crystal at 3.5cm in height and weighing 25.8grams. This crystal displays dichroism appearing blue along one orientation and purple along the other orientation in plane polarized light. The vivid color is outstanding and the specimen glows when it is well lit in a display. I do believe this specimen has been heated. Still a lovely specimen in any case. I do note some small around 1cm chips along the top of the specimen
