Complete and undamaged tetrahedron of Chambersite, a rare mineral found in salt formations in a small number of localities worldwide. Translucent 'Amethyst' purple in color, this was collected by Fred Pough in 1970. All the tips are perfect with very small, flat truncated tips.  The sides are smooth and flat, though one side has a natural stepped indentation. Rare to find them this perfect without any damage. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.
