A stunning cluster with exceptional luster: This is a cute cluster of 3 bright crystals of acanthite, to 1.5 cm across.Two of the crystals appear to exhibit at least partial hopper growth, where the edges of the crystals grow faster than the faces, thus resulting in complex hollowed-out "crevasses" in some faces. Complete all around!
