A HUGE and especially rich specimen of brandtite, significant for the size overall (I couldn't bring myself to trim in half...though each half is probably worth the same!). In person, the whole front face sparkles with hundreds of flat-laying, acicular crystals of bright white brandtite! 11 x 5.5 x 3 cm
