Stunning cluster of two gemmy, EXTREMELY COMPLEXLY STEPPED AND MODIFIED cuboctahedra, separated by a lustrous sphalerite cluster which each partially overgrows as they almost meet in the middle. The contrasts is striking and the 3-dimensionality more impressive in person. It is one of the better small cabs in the lot, to be honest, but so hard to convey with pics that we downgraded the price a bit to move it when really it look much better in person!
