A steeply tapered, classic crystal for this locality, probably predating the 1970s, given the growth pattern and slight pink zoning at the base. The crystal is complete all around and terminated, though with ingrown albite matrix at the left side. It is undamaged save for a small, shallow conchoidal break in the upper-right portion of the front - as you can see, it is hard to see unless you go looking for it. The cleave is really quite shallow and does not affect the display so much, but I have halved the price accordingly fro mwhat it might otherwise fetch, makig nthis a relative bargain for a good Dunton miniature
