MA13W8: A novelty at Munich 2012. Though they have sporadically appeared in previous years, due to their relative abundance this year and the quality both of the samples and the individual crystals, they can be considered as a novelty. The crystals, many of them doubly terminated, have a considerable size for the species, they are bright, between translucent and transparent, and they have a clear apple green color and are on a rocky matrix with clear crystals of Quartz. This sample is one of the best obtained from the locality due to the size, quantity and quality of its crystals.
