This location sits atop a hill that was worked for ore from the 60's to 80's by French and Soviet mining enterprises. Today the mine is long abandoned and only concrete ruins remain, but local entrepreneurs continue to work the site for specimens.  Sadly, given the delicate nature of this species and the somewhat rough extraction methods, few larger pieces (and yes, this counts as larger) survive. 

For its size, this was one of the most aesthetic pieces I obtained.  There was a fair amount of it, but most was not even sellable, leave alone of a quality I would like to post on the website.
