This checkmark-shaped specimen is a cluster of two complete, pristine crystals (to 4 cm), attached at their base. I have taken the measurement as shown in the photo of it shaped like a "checkmark," to be clear. It is a really elegant and unusual piece, overall! A superb, showy miniature featuring soft lemon-yellow color, translucency, and a good surface luster for this species.
