Item Description
A classic example of the well-known "cross"-twinned Staurolite crystals from the famous Keivy Mountains in Russia. This twin piece actually looks like it's a bit elongated on one end, but it actually has a secondary crystal that's intergrown with the twin. These pieces are not terribly common on the market, but these are arguably some of the best examples of the species extant.
