This specimen has the largest crystals in the lot, and they are very 3-dimensional. The aesthetic sculptural quality of this specimen is unique and it looks like a floating semi-abstract sculpture. It features a huge, 2.5 cm, equant, octahedron on the top left and two large octahedrons on the top right. In fact, the specimen resembles a human with outstretched arms in supplication. Wow!
