Ex: Mineralogical Research Purchase:8-2001.  An absolutely gorgeous specimen from the finds of the 1990's at Touissit.  Brilliant, glassy, gemmy crystals in an approximately 5 cm wide opening.  The piece is sort of geode like.   The crystals extend all the way to the back side, where a small hole shows more crystals...this shown in a photo below.   These are virtually unavailable these days.   I took a lot of photos of this one, maybe a bit of overkill, but trying to show how beautiful this piece is.
