RN96H7: Prismatic crystal with an excellent termination. The color zonation is very well marked with the inner core between red and mauve and the bluish green exterior. It is curious to find this piece in the Folch collection because he purchased it before 1980, so it could be one of the first “watermelons” found at the locality.
