Mbumba, Pimbi Hill, Sanda, Mindouli, Pool, Republc of Congo
description: Outstanding example for the species with large lustrous deep green crystals to 2.5 cm in height set on a small amount of matrix. Very tiny micro-chipping to the crystal at the bottom right hand side, the prominent crystal is in great condition. I think overall the quality is superb. Measures 3.0 x 2.5 x 1.5 cm.
