Condition: Beautiful natural piece featuring superb wind-sculpted forms on the surface. Note for perfect transparency: a small chip or fracture area is visible at the rear of the specimen (clearly visible in the photos), which does not detract from the rarity and raw charm of the piece, but is mentioned for demanding collectors.
