The unusual shape of the crystal invokes thoughts of some sort of brutal weaponry or of a post-modern art piece. I personally thought it looked like a spaceship off Star Trek when I first saw it.English: Celestial crystal of a transferase enzyme found in the red flour beetle. Date: 10 October 2017.
