The pink crystal has great color and a slightly concave, multi-faceted termination. It also has a natural bend near the base caused by natural fracturing and rehealing processes in the pegmatite. The green crystal is a well saturated grass green with a black termination. Glassy and bright and together weigh a total of 4.86 grams.
