Hi Jim, Matt and List,

You can even slightly notice these crystal face boundaries on the right
where they haven't burned out yet but were very close to burning their
way out.

You will also notice another boundary crossing the parallel "cuts" at the lower
left side of this gorgeous piece. It transects the latter two at an angle measuring
exactly 45? ... tell-tale signs of the crystal lattice of this SA. The width should
be about 9 mm (the width of the Widmanstaetten pattern in SA).

Beautiful, rare, and bizarre :-)

Cheers,

Bernd
