This is a shockingly good moly, with great balance on matrix, and in excellent condition. The crystal measures an inch vertically, and is 3 mm thick - quite robust, actually, for a molybdenite from this classic Canadian locale. Most are like thin foil sheets, and malleable as well as damaged on the edges. This is a freestanding, complete, and quite sturdy, crystal though. The rear of the upper termination, and the sides, have been fully excavated at some risk.
