A large skull shaped somewhat like an open football, showing GREAT 3-dimensionality and even (this is rare) rudimentary crystallization at the edges! It is perhaps 70%-75% complete in its form, with the remainder probably just never forming to begin with as the edges here look naturally tapered as they should be. LARGE and impressive example of this habit!
