The very glassy, lustrous, transparent to translucent crystal is olive-green to clove-brown and has a razor termination. Complete all-around. One end is contacted with slight bruising. A clean vertical repair from the top to bottom of the crystal is noted. This remains a very large, highly representative and rare example of the species from this very uncommon locale.
