Comments:
I love these!! I am very happy to add this example to the shop. I try to pick these up whenever I can afford to. These cyclically twinned specimens can have up to 6 twins, or possibly more, around a centerpoint. This one has two crystals back to back. There is a classic 'suture' line, and a V at the top, where the two crystals diverge from the center line.
This gem thumbnail is in great shape, with no visible damage. Sunny yellow color bursts from this piece.
