This Phenakite has good faces and edges with a pyramidal termination and an attractive translucent, but complex white interior with some translucent areas, all of this resulting in almost a pearlescent effect. It is contacted only in a few areas on the prism faces. This thumbnail has a mass of 1.8 grams.
