An intensely purple, equant crystal with really strong color to it, good luster, and overall good form. It has a slight bit of edge wear on the left edge (shown worse in the photo than in person), and a shallow natural contact on the right edge that is facing to the side and not very detracting, but a slight asymmetry nonetheless. Big and fat, though, this is like crystallized grape jelly the color is so intense!
