I have seen a lot of c-sklo over the years but I cannot recall another piece quite like this one. This is a gorgeous specimen composed entirely of interlocking, neon-green, translucent crystals that show unusual thickness and unusual gemminess. They have glassy luster...the combination of these qualities is striking, and it really leaps out at you. This is pricey by size, perhaps, compared to more modern finds of c-sklo, or tp the more typical styles of past finds as well with their acicular needles of thinner form. But, it is wildly different and to my mind, one of my favorites (if not nearly the most expensive) out of several hundred Cuprosklodowskite specimens I have personally handled.
