This remarkable, exceptionally large twinned crystal is almost a doubly-terminated floater, save for a small contact on one end (the right tip as displayed here). It is gemmy, and transparent throughout. The upper or leftmost termination as shown is wonderfully bevelled and complete. It has one repair about 4 cm in from the full termination, but the repair is fairly clean and when you display the piece is not noticeable except on inspection from behind. 11 x 2.5 x 1.5 cm
