This fine miniature has two crystals in excess of 1.6 cm, and a smaller sidecar crystal to the right, as well. Actually, it can be displayed from a number of directions. For the price, it offers a well-balanced miniature with relatively large crystals. The color is also very good on this one, truly blue instead of the more usual steely-blue-gray
