A sharp single crystal of rather large size, with perfect termination showing a steep and equant point. The whole crystal is highly translucent and actually also "gemmy" in some areas; and it GLOWS when backlit. Complete all around, this is a large, dramatic, full thumbnail specimen. IT IS A KILLER...MUCH BETTER In PERSON THAN THE PICS CONVEY. Minor bit of associated quartz on one side...again, going to make this a special thumbnail!
