Perfect Hilton jewels. It's really as simple as that. Every crystal on this specimen is undamaged. Every twin is transparent and water-clear. Light bounces effortlessly off the glassy crystal faces, each of which displays complex spiral vicinal growth patterns. Sulphide zoning in the twins adds that characteristic Hilton shimmer. This is a fantastic miniature, from a classic and world-famous locality. Peviously in the collection of an elite French collector.
