Description

An outstanding complete octahedral alabandite crystal that exhibits a medium luster with sharp edges and textured faces.

Some minor calcite is attached to the back side which is also fully mineralized and complete.

This specimen is as near to perfect as I have ever seen an alabandite crystal to be with only the slightest edge wear visible.
