A very impactful miniature featuring a 3.2-cm-long crystal just hunched down and poised as if to jump off a plate of bright, contrasting malachite! The crystal is balanced, colorful, and robust, with superb luster. The cluster is complete all around, and offset by the green. From finds here of the early 2010s, which Wayne handled, this is a gorgeous and well proportioned miniature the likes of which we do not see for sale these days. NOTE: although shot as a vertical, the piece actually, to my eye, works even better when set horizontally - but it is a personal decision, no wrong choices here! Wayne (sometimes working with us) was instrumental in handling many of the Milpillas pockets of this time; and kept a group of choice miniatures for himself at the time they came out - all chosen for beauty, balance, condition, and color. Long in IKONS book author Wayne Thompson's personal collection of Miniatures/Thumbnails built with his daughter, Stevia, when she was young. Laszlo Kupi photo.
