These sharp, transparent crystals, some of them intergrown, have beautiful pyramidal terminations. They radiate outwards from a central point, and the cluster was removed intact without matrix. The larger photo makes them appear dull, but in person, they actually have fine luster, typical of, say, a Dal'negorsk specimen of similar style.
