An unusual 13-gram crystal that is geometrically formed with zigzag patterning on all sides, giving it a sharp and almost modernist appearance from all sizes. It is a floater, complete all around except only one small 5 mm contact or damage spot on one edge. These are from unprecedented 2009-2010 finds that are just completely unique for the species.
