From the first glance, the eye is drawn not to internal complexity, but to absence: an almost uninterrupted transparency that allows light to pass through the crystal with a clarity rarely encountered in natural specimens. The material behaves optically more like glass than stone, creating mirror like reflections across its internal planes and sharply defined faces. The body presents a naturally elongated form with a clean, balanced geometry, where flat faces and sharp edges interact with light in a controlled and elegant way. In several orientations, the crystal reveals broad transparent windows that resemble polished optical surfaces, despite remaining entirely unworked. These clear corridors of light give the specimen a striking diamond like presence, where brilliance emerges from purity rather than dispersion. Internal features are minimal and discreet, limited to a few fine growth traces that confirm its natural origin without disrupting its visual calm. This restraint is precisely what elevates the specimen. Instead of visual noise, the crystal offers silence, clarity and precision, qualities that are increasingly rare in natural material of this size. The overall impression is one of refinement and restraint. It is a crystal that does not rely on inclusions or dramatic internal scenes, but instead asserts itself through cleanliness, balance and optical discipline. A specimen whose strength lies in what is not there, and whose presence recalls the austere elegance of a perfectly cut form, shaped entirely by nature.

Collectors seeking optical purity over internal complexity will immediately recognise the value of such material. This specimen appeals to those who appreciate clarity as a statement in itself, offering a refined alternative to more inclusion rich examples and standing confidently within museum level mineral selections focused on optical excellence. Lapidary Potential: While the crystal’s transparency would allow for lapidary experimentation, any cutting would irreversibly compromise its natural faces and inherent geometry. Its true value lies in its untouched state, where optical purity and natural form coexist without interference. For this reason, it is best preserved as a natural specimen, where its mirror like clarity and disciplined structure can be appreciated in full. ————— Shipping and Handling: All orders are shipped by UPS express or National Express. • Dispatch time: within 1 to 2 business days after payment confirmation to Catawiki • Transit time with Express service: up to 3 business days within europe and worldwide • A tracking number is always provided Photography and transparency: All photos were taken under controlled light conditions, carefully selected to reproduce the most accurate natural colour of each specimen. No filters, colour enhancement, or artificial saturation were applied. The lighting setup uses a calibrated 5500K light source, which replicates neutral daylight and reveals the true tones and clarity of the mineral. Under weaker or more yellow indoor lighting, colours may appear slightly different, which is normal and expected. The purpose of this setup is to present each specimen exactly as it appears in balanced natural daylight, allowing buyers to appreciate its authentic colour and lustre without distortion.
