Unusual fat and elongated crystals to 2.5 cm, spraying up from matrix, make this a miniature quite distinct from most others here. Only a few crystals in the find had this particular habit, and this piece has the balance to show it off well. The crystals spray out in 3 dimensions, much more obviously so in person.
