A superb example of a normally prosaic variety of this species! This is easily one of the best and largest specimens I have seen from this deposit. The largest, doubly terminated, crystal is 16 cm across. Although the crystal centers are sand filled, the crystal edges are translucent. There seems to be either a repair or stabilization at the junction of one of the larger crystals to the cluster. It is hard to see and does not really detract from the piece at all in terms of display quality. Besides the dimensions, this specimen exhibits extremely aesthetic crystal arrangement. 16 x 13 x 9.5 cm
