A cogwheel-like cluster of fat robust crystals to 1.6 cm, with superb luster and the orangey color flashes of others from this pocket. It is coated on the back with the same unusual oriented brown inclusions and/or overgrowth that is common in this lot, but in this case does not detract so much as accent the sharpness of the other faces of the crystals where the brown faces roll over to the lower display face. Interestign, geometric piece at a reduced price because it is not all red on front...but at the same time, very interesting for the same reasons.
