4 cm across. A complete floater about the size of a golf ball, sharp and undamaged all around, with GLOWING orange color, especially when backlit! When cleaned, this will have even higher lustre and color saturation. It is so gemmy that you are looking through the entire crystal in parts of this photo, it’s just hard to realize in 2-D!
