JA17I7: A splendid specimen. The crystals, even though not being very tall, are very clear and bright, with well-defined faces and edges, doubly-terminated and with some hydrocarbon inclusions and they airily sit on a very esthetic matrix. This specimen was photographed for the ‘Über Diamanten und Hyazinthen’ section of the magazine ‘Mineralien Welt’ on page 56 of number 5/2012 and in the magazine "Lapis" on page 20 of number 7-8 / 2013
