    Notes:
    This was one specimen I bought back in the 1990's not as a cutter as most I have cut came from Spain as to me it was the lightest and most clean and colorful of that mineral type. But this is a lovely terminated crystal that is huge for this area and this perfect formation. It is just a classic termination and from the USA. The mine has been closed for some time and I could not find anything on the web that was even close to this specimen so I know it is not common. I met the guy that mined this old mine and got many from him at a show our gem club put on. I was the president of the club and put on the show so he did me right with my purchases of the unusual from that mine. No treatments.
