Thanks Don!
This specimen is from the early days of my collection where I didn't really care about labeling - I am not sure where I got it from.
This was the time where material from La Pita was flooding the mineral market i.e. late '90s to early '00s.
Back then, prices were reasonable (sort of) and fakes were not yet predominant on the market.

Hola Firmo!
Thanks for your kind words.
The crystal is much better in person. It's clean and has a strong deep green hue.
The color combined to the unusual termination and the surrounding grey calcite give a dramatic aspect to the specimen.
