Two, large, gemmy, cognac colored calcite crystals, to 16 cm in length, oppose each other in a "V" formation. The crystals are doubly terminated. Only very minor bruising is evident at the tips, but in this case the slight damage is pointing down or up and not to the display face so its hard to se eunless you look. However, I have discounted the price anyhow by 75%, from what it would be otherwise if totally pristine to my eye. All in all, thus a LOT of impact for the $$$.
