This specimen is actually far more spectacular in person than what the pics show. That is because you can only clearly see one smaller crystal speared through the large one from one side to the other, but you cannot clearly see the thin crystal that runs ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CENTER, pokes out the top and is terminated, right between the two peaks of the termination of the main crystal! This is a FASCINATING crystal specimen from Dalnegorsk! 5.6 x 1.3 x 1.0cm
