Quartz from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Translucent Quartz with many faces.
Due the light hidden lines appear in three termination faces, that divide all of them. The main face is a triangle and the others are a pentagon and a trapezoid.
These lines are not noticed by touch.

Nice light effect on the pseudo pyramid faces.
I've counted on your triangle 4 edges: the fourth belongs to an extra S face. Congratulations for this bonus.
