Stunningly real but for the stand.

It looks very realistic, but I think the tapering facets are inaccurate (as
you've already said). Still cool though.

A group of these crystals on a piece of rock would look cool.

Clustered inside of a geode it would look even more betterer.

And slower, but possibly worth it. I haven't found a good-looking way to do
that yet, though.

  Nice piece, Samuel. The only thing I might add would be just the
slightest of imperfections in the facet reflecting the light source -
maybe a scratch or a nick or a tiny pit, that would disturb the unbroken
surface. Granted, you may be striving for a perfect crystal, in which
case you are there <s>.

The fracture should rise or crack up a little along the sides...?

I already thought about making triangular indentations on the tip surfaces.
I would probably use the object pattern for that.
