A truly outstanding, lemon yellow crystal measuring 4 x 1.7 x 1.5 cm, perched against a matrix of hausmannite, makes for one of the more impactful and memorable miniatures in this lot. The black on yellow color contrast is REALLY stark and exciting, and I think overall the balance of the two species makes the piece special. Pristine, complete all around, this is a competition grade miniature
