This is a dramatic, doubly-terminated floater crystal perched within a cluster, itself all a floater and terminated all around. The crystal is 15 x 4 x 4 cm The quality is mesmerizingly good, clean and sharp and glassy in luster! The piece is at first glance pristine but admittedly has a few very minor dings which reduce it from the status of "killer" at a much higher price. Essentially there is one small ding near each tip of the large crystal, and on the sidecar as well. Still, you get the aesthetics and impact, at what seems a relative value in comparison. This difference of 5-fold pricing between pristine and "nearly pristine" is one that is not for everybody, and I purchased this piece knowing that it should appeal to somebody who has the visual discernment to see it as special, but can tolerate a few (minor) dings.
