This is a very large, very interesting quartz crystal from Pakistan, in that it is weirdly etched all over - with some faces having what look like divots in them, others a jagged surface, and still others a tiered appearance. The crystal is complete and doubly-terminated. It is very gemmy through the interior. Small find of last year and large ones are hard to come by. I cannot say I love them for the form, but they make remarkable specimens nonetheless for the beauty of the complex surface, and the reflections thrown off. They LOOK almost lab grown.
