This huge 1-kilo crystal is the largest of the species that I know of, in such good form. It is in fact a slightly distorted octohedron, really quite more obvious in person as it is very 3-dimensional. It is NEARLY complete all around, with a few relatively insignificant contacts and dimples that do not detract much form the sheer impact of the size or of the symmetry. ex Gerald C Herfurth Collection #2810, Herb Obodda, Robert Nowakowski Collection #RN77.
