The pictures convey that this is gemmy and transparent throughout, so gemmy at over 1 inch thick that it is absolutely no barrier at all to reading small print of a book through the whole length of the crystal! This is nearly a floater, complete all around and terminated on both ends, with only a small attachment point on the lower portion of the back-left face as shown here (a small 2 cm tall x 1 cm wire and perhaps 4 mm deep diagonal depression in the crystal surface with a bit of attached albite in the crevasse. The termination has some weird minor etching effects around its periphery, but 100% is not worn or damaged. A gem crystal of this magnitude, complete and doubly-terminated, and NOT repaired, is a rare jewel indeed. Weight is 234 grams
