DESCRIPTION
Lustrous all around and look at the translucency! Although it is 30 mm thick it shows this color already under daylight. Typical for Sapo mine is the intense blue color below the end-point, which is almost unique (only California produce also blue-caps). So we have this intense blue color at the top, which turns to blue--green and green and a light pink area in the center. Usually crystal are small - around 2, maybe 3 cm. A crystal almost 5cm tall and over 3cm thick is so exceptional and rare. Never had something just close to this one. Weight is 380 carat.
