Comment: The remnant 0f a what was a very large crystal. It is Gem quality as in cabochon, but I am not sure as to whether facetable material is available deep inside the stone.I have never wanted to cut it to find out. I have had this specimen for many years ,I picked it up along with some zeolite specimens on one of my many trips to Pune, there may be a fortune waiting for some lucky collector if they want to take a chance and have it cut. I am positive that it is has a deep red at it’s centre? I have some smaller pieces from the same locality and they are a deep rich red.
