Etched Gem Heliodor

Here is a wonderful etched heliodor crystal from Ukraine that I saved from being cut.
Although it was purchased as gem facet rough, it is a complete crystal.
It has wonderful yellow with green coloring and is gem clean throughout.
It is a complete crystal showing bottom termination, and etched top and sides.
There is one small area that is colorless on the top right side.
It is not damage but would appear to be a small crystal of goshenite that formed ontop before the overall etching occured.
This clear area is also fully etched along with the rest of the crystal.
This is a beautiful chunky gem crystal that I do hope remains a specimen.
