This small cabinet specimen is about as aesthetic and well-displayed as you can ask for in an old Wheatley piece. It is very colorful, and extremely rich for this locality where it was mined over 100 years ago! It displays well either horizontally or vertically! It should be considered a superb piece for any size, but it is especially nice because the crystals are so fat and well-develped; and so displayable overall so that it would fit in many collections, not just a historic collection
