The crystal has perfect SHARP symmetry, with the twinning plane running right down the top ridge. There are pretty striations on the faces, and the crystal has a fine pink glow. It is complete on the back as well. The bottomside of the crystal is two cleavage faces where the crystal was removed from matrix. Looks like a spearpoint! 11 x 6 x 5.5 cm
