This piece shows a whole lot better in-person than online. It is a wonderful specimen with ice-like luster and aqua color. It is nicely translucent with a neat network of internal cleavage lines. Each crystal has beveled edges, which carry a nice frosted finish. The largest crystal is to almost 6cm and attached to this crystal are six smaller crystals. No damage, sweet piece.
