This one is a "kicker". It will "fly out your window" like a shooting star! A tad light in tone but first "water" as they say in the local twang. Devoid of any black or brown, this near fluorescent red orange intense "fire ball" is a sure winner. Okay it's not perfect but I 'd pay a premium for this kind of stone anytime. Very rare so don't let this one by!
