A dramatic piece that features unusually sharp crystals stacked one upon the other to the apex, with more robust, curving crystals in the lower left as a pedestal. This is a very dramatic, 3-dimensional specimen that like many from this mine, is nearly freestanding and has quite a different look to it than a cluster of crystals from Tsumeb would have, in the way they are assembled so elegantly together to make a sculpture.
