A sharp, complete-all-around, balanced specimen consisting of a single geometric crystal from the legendary find of circa 2000-2001, brought out by the Gobin brothers. This remains the finest discovery of the species, for outright quality. This is a significant, competitive-level thumbnail specimen that is volumetric and geometric. The luster is exceptional. The mesmerizing surface detail is a bonus to the overall geometry. Such specimens are simply not available, and have already long ago drifted into the most important thumbnail collections, barring a few that will now surface only on generational time scales as collections recycle. 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 which, honestly, is quite good but these are just so much better in person.
