There is a thin layer, up to 1 mm in thickness, just below the surface of the termination, which is light pink. There is a central core of the crystal which is dark green and opaque. Just below the edges of the sides, approximately 1 mm in thickness, there is more of the gemmy green material similar to that near the termination. The termination is well formed with a smooth central face and 3 beveled faces at the corners.
