1.6 x 1.2 x .8 cm. Legrandite is one of the holy grails of Mexican minerals, and this has all the intense yellow color and fabulous luster that you could ask for. What is also attractive about this thumbnail is the front part of the cluster is a beautiful bladed crystal, while the back is a series of the more classic radial sprays of the crystals.
