A sharp "spear" composed of 3 elongated spinel twins connected in a stepped pattern by smaller spinel-twinned crystals, and with yet another generation of spinel-twinned crystals shooting off perpendicularly to the main axis of growth, but even then oriented only in one direction ...thus creating a very odd, very sculptural, cityscape effect. very SHARP AND IMPRESSIVE In PERSON! Perfect floater! 8 x 1.3 x 1 cm
