A very attractive prismatic crystal with excellent striations, very good luster, and a very unusual habit. Most Arfvedsonites form long prismatic crystals, but this crystal is clearly shortened along the C-axis, creating what appears to be a flattened rhomb (but it isn't). Intergrown are several small crystals with the normal long habit, one of which has a broken termination (fortunately, it is completely hidden in the back). An excellent and unusual specimen for the species, and attractive in its own right.
