These crystals have the classic pseudo-hexagonal barrel shape, tapering towards the terminations. They measure to 3 cm. Also typical is the micro-stepping on their faces, slightly "off-white" color and translucency. There are over two dozen crystals here, making this an unusually sized matrix plate for the locality.
