Such an intriguing triplet crystal!  The two largest terminations of the crystal have a small terminated crystal nestled down between them with elestial formation glistening towards the base.  They are reminiscent of parents with their young child.  The faces of the two large crystals are so covered in glyphs that they appear to have a velvety sheen.  The second largest point has a chip out of the back, but this can only be seen from certain perspectives.  The formation has a rich smoky purple color.

The crystal measures 3.4" x 2.7" x 1.7" and weighs 12.5oz.
