This gemmy, extremely lustrous, twinned, calcite crystal has intense cognac coloring and multi-forked terminations. IT IS RAZOR SHARP and has much mor eintense luster and color in person. It is also very fat and 3-dimensional. Only very minor cleaving at the bottom-most tip keeps this fine specimen from being pristine and doubly-terminated. very much better in person.
