Own photograph of my new darling :-)
What looks like damage in the clear part of the crystal is no damage but a kind of inclusion inside.

Thanks Bob, i'm glad you like it. I agree, this specimen is quite good for the locality. It is hard to get those without many broken crystals, so i was glad to find that specimen ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=25817#25817 )
