This is a HUGE, elegantly tapered legrandite crystal with stunning electric yellow, vibrant color. It shimmers, even, because it is almost chatoyant - as close as legrandite gets to that sparkly optical effect, anyhow. This is probably the largest single, euhedral crystal of the species that most of us will ever see. AND IT IS BETTER In PERSON!
