Yes, nice big crystal, but the resolution doesn't look great. If that's Co60 in the photo the separation between the peaks is very ordinary.

Re: Not something you see everyday..
Steven is correct, resolution at 661 is only about 14%. These detectors were not built for spectroscopy use even when new, but were part of a portal monitoring system. Bigger is not always (not even usually) better for spectroscopy use, however if you want gross counts for survey use, it could be the trick... Cheers, Tom
