Its unusual angular shape gives the slab a striking sculptural appearance that displays beautifully from several orientations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne face shows large pink crystalline sections separated by delicate, lace-like mineral bands. A long central gray matrix zone creates strong contrast and gives the specimen an almost landscape-like pattern.
