Double terminated crystal with no damage or chipping.  Top termination is pointed and bottom is chisel or flattened wide termination.  With a loop both top and bottom termination have small multiple rounded terminations and not a sharp point or sharp edge.  This is the natural termination growth and not damage to the terminations.  With no background light at all the crystal is lustrous and a dark charcoal bluish blue color and appears almost opaque.  With normal background light it is a bluer dark color and translucent at the tips and slight striping is apparent.  With back light is is tranlucent with a striping pattern of a light perhaps a navy blue and slightly cream to colorless.   I think this one is attractive and more unusual than the typical yellow or light blue translucent to transparent coloration.
