Item Description
A significant LARGE crystal showing classic form, some gemminess, and a wonderful pastel pink color that changes to orange-red under ultraviolet light. It is complete all around and even doubly-terminated! The central elongated crystal is modified by rhombohedral terminations, and decorated on its side with small scalenohedral sidecars. It is a major example for a crystal of such habit, in this size, and that it has survived unscathed is remarkable. This oldtimer is from the 1980s-1990s heyday of production here, I am sure, judging by its shape and size. BETTER IN PERSON, as the strong luster makes it harder to photograph. Such pieces are few and far between today. Ex Robert Nowakowski Russian collection, assembled in the 1990s and early 2000s, valued $2000-2500
