The reason you do not recognize this very large specimen as Bingham is that it is an OLD one. It is basically an inter-grown mass of very large, nearly colorless crystals (modifications of cubes, with intricate micro-stepping on the faces). Some really pretty, sparkly quartz decorates one side of the specimen. The translucent crystals measure up to 4 cm along the edge!
