Chinese Babingtons showed up. Most at Tucson were dull and looked like
they had been acid etched. Maybe they were just naturally dull.
Any with luster were very expensive. I was able to get this one
inexpensive lustrous specimen with large crystals at the San Rafael Show.
It has an area of contact with another crystal near the large crystals
termination. At first glance this looks like it may be a chip or
damage which is why I was able to buy this on so reasonable. But with
a loop there is no fractured surface. Instead it looks like contact
with another crystal now missing. This is a stepped cluster of double
terminated lustrous crystals. Actually a very nice specimen.
