This rather strange hand specimen consists of two incomplete, intersecting Zincite crystals. These crystals are only in fair condition, due to their lack of completeness and obvious breakage on the smaller one. Their form is also quite warped, not showing any hexagonal tendencies and almost no overall symmetry. Their color ranges from orange to yellow to pale brown all in the same crystal, and all have the standard adamantine luster. They are also transparent and very clear. There is no base or host rock, of course.
