This is a first-class Wheatley pyro for any size, but is in truth a well-balanced thumber as well. The individual crystals have an excellent complex barrel shape with classic hoppered terminations that grade to a very attractive lighter green at the tips. The luster is excellent, and the specimen presents well from both sides. Considering the sheer number of crystals here, it is amazing that there is only one crystal missing, and that is hardly noticeable. Old classic! 2.4 x 1.8 x 1.2 cm
