A particularly elegant, large miniature that is shaped somewhat like a gold fishing net, expanding as it is thrown out, and yet sturdy at the same time! It is an elegant piece, that is complete all around, composed entirely of small crystalline octahedral and spinel-twins. Old Eagles Nest mine material, and classic! 8 grams.
