A single fat crystal, truly equant along A and B axes, and so symmetrical you think it might be carved. The termination is superb and highly lustrous. It is pristine except for the faintest of truly trivial edge wear, on a few edges. BETTER In PERSON because we photo'd it from the worst side for showing that minute edge wear. The other side is pristine, and its all more lustrous in person!
