Description

This specimen is one of the first found in this quarry in the 1980s. It is highly fluorescent and difficult to obtain nowadays. This specimen is of a much higher quality than is typical for its species. The crystals are very well defined, and the color is excellent. A true rarity! I am very selective about the specimens I acquire.
