This fat, dramatic crystal is one of the largest, sharpest single crystals I have seen for the locality to date. It is sharply formed and very symmetric. The termination is lustrous, and really neat to look at because of the included schorls - not too many, and not too few. A small bit of matrix gives it contrast and presence.
