A stunning, unusually finely crystallized specimen of this rare species! I have NEVER seen a petalite crystal so sharp! Not even from Pakistan/Afghanistan, where it is more common. This is truly exceptional. Also, it is BETTER IN PERSON! ...and more gemmy in person! This is one i could rave about, and the pics just won't convey why. But for what it is, its not only a smoker but cheap, I think. 2.7 x 2.1 x 1.5 cm
