This special crystal was mined from a unique miarole with more than 100 other crystals in 1969. It is almost absolutely clear - with only one inclusion trail (3 cm). Large (150 x 130 mm) and optically clear specimens like this one are extremly rare today. More than 90 crystals from this miarole were directly cut as the best cutting rough!
