One of two specimens from this new find in this auction, of a very different nature from the other one. This is a single HUGE xl (5.5 cm) crystal that is absolutely glassy through the middle, with the characteristic "cut glass" modifications on the face that make them so distinctive. Almost every specimen from this find tends to be heavily contacted - it is just part of how they have to be removed from the matrix - but this big crystal (intergrown with a smaller one) is complete on all four sides, with damage limited to the bottom where it was contacted and some edge wear on the top termination. 8.9 x 5.7 x 5.4 cm
