A very large, doubly-terminated, steel-grey, lustrous multi-layered crystal group associated with minor acicular zinkenite. A very aesthetic and showy specimen with much more visual appeal than most of these have. This is definitely one of the most impressive pieces in the lot. This is such a significant piece for its sheer size. It looks so much better in person too! 6.1 x 4.1 x 2.2 cm
