A razor-sharp, glassy, classically twinned phosphophyllite crystal with absolutely top form to it. It is not gemmy per se, except at the tips, but it does have that classic unique color. It is complete all around and the twinning symmetry just rivets the eye. This is a twinned crystal, as were most such specimens from the famous finds of the 1950s. NO COMPARABLE QUALITY HAS BEEN FOUND In OVER 50 YEARS NOW! These remain the Holy Grail of mineral collectors in all size and price ranges.
