Hard to find thumbnail-sized octahedral Alabandite crystal. Good quality, nearly undamaged with only one small nick. Nearly complete with some grooves and attached Tanzanite, Pyrite, and Calcite on some lower faces, has about as good as luster as you get with these. These are considered by many as the best of species and are certainly the largest ever found.
