Superb miniature-sized crystal that sits perfectly upright on matrix! The 3.6 x 1.5 main crystal has excellent clarity in both directions, and just glows! There is minor matrix along one edge of the termination on one face, but this crystal is so good the bit of matrix does nothing but add some character to the specimen. A definite keeper, and MUCH better in person.
