Facet quality single octahedral crystal from very old stock dating to the 1950s and just released for sale. Top half of crystal has large smooth faces while bottom half has shorter, stepped faces. Weighs 8 carats. Hard to find crystals like this that were not cut as gems. Though it doesn't come to a perfect point, the tip is undamaged - there are tiny crystal faces visible under a loupe.
