Complete, well crystallized Legrandite crystal on a small amount of matrix. This is from the recent find from late 2017 and although not a typical elongated crystal, it is complete all around. I have heard of stubby Legrandites that look almost like cubes, so a crystal like this is not unprecedented. There is slight chatter on one edge, otherwise it's undamaged and has small gem zones.
