Quartz Gwindel
Loi Shilman Mine, Khyber Agency, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
6.1 x 3.9 x 1.8 cm (2.40 x 1.54 x 0.71 in)

Along with having a gentle rotation along the a-axis, this particular specimen is an uncommon "half-closed" Gwindel that, for the most part, has a smooth, straight edge along one of the crystal's sides. The crystal is completely colorless and transparent, accented with a lightly frosted exterior and a mild luster. This piece is in excellent condition with only a couple minor contacts towards the bottom of the crystal.
