Very, very unique crystal from Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. There is a matchless series of phantoms
at the top of the crystal as well as a small (6x5x3) lepidolite crystal mounted on the side. The bottom of the piece
is also encrusted with beautiful purple lepidolite. From behind it almost doesn't look like a crystal, more like
just a white rock, and there is chipping damage from extraction. This really is an awesome piece! Approx. size: 51x41x43
Weight: 76.9 grams
