A WHOPPER Elmwood twin with wonderful amber color and gemminess. It features a single termination on one end and a fabulous multi-peaked one on the other. The vast majority of even good Elmwood twins in this size range have damage on their tips, but the damage on this one is very minor: a little edge wear on a couple of the "peaks" on multi-peaked end, and a tiny, clean "chink" at the very edge of the other end. This minor damage is very hard to see or get worked up about relative to the size of the specimen. 14.4 x 8.5 x 5.5 cm
