This single crystal is complete all around, I showed one photo of front-display and also a photo of the backside. All faces consist of tiny steps and all these steps are razor sharp terminated and highly lustrous. At the base you can see small hessonite crystals which frame the bottom. Very aesthetic and undamaged.
