A sharp hexagonal 5.25 x 3 x 2 cm crystal, plush pink color, set atop crystallized cleavelandite matrix as if nestled into snow. I like the aesthetics on this one very much, as with the above, for the stark contrast of the sharp gemmy hexagon atop to the random-ordered white blades below! The piece is complete all around (top and second rows of photos shows front and back views). The crystal is freestanding, clean and complete all around on the back as well. It is obviously gemmy, transparent, and has a good pink color to it. The shape is RAZORSHARP showing not even minor contact or etching. for the price, I think, I could not replace this in Afghanistan now that it is trimmed up!
