An interesting, complex, double-terminated elestial with deep purple phantoms. One end has two points, the other has a parital skeletal single point on the contact zone. Technically, this crystal could be considered a scepter...though this is only obvious from one side. More photos of this specimen

Get it now...before I change my mind and keep it for myself!
