For a thumbnail specimen, these crystals are really large and fine! The largest measures a centimeter from tip to tip, and ALL are as gemmy as glass! I have been buying all the reasonably priced specimens available of this material as the mine recently closed for good and there has been a scramble to grab these. 2.4 x 2.1 x 0.9cm
