A sharp GEM transparent Hambergite crystal with good, euhedral habit and a good termination! You rarely see such gemminess in Tajiki Hambergite, and the faces are textured with high luster. Hambergite from Pakistan is usually considered to have the finest crystallization, with average terminations less sharp than this one. It is complete all around, save for the base. For what it is, this is impressive for the sheer quality of the crystal. Better in person.
