A large, sculptural 3-dimensional specimen that is very elegant in overall composition, with crystals to 2.5 cm linked one to another from top to bottom. It is more sharp and 3-D in person, and one of the finer pieces in this size range for the robust size of the crystals in an elegant arrangement. I love these freestanding clusters with robust crystals atop, as the style is very different from anything found before in Mexico or Tsumeb, and thus distinct for this new mine.
