One of the finest miniatures in the lot, this piece features a sharp and undamaged cluster with crystals to 3 cm, arranged like a flowery rosette atop a small bit of matrix. The top crystals are complete around the back, as well. It is a super quality. The velvety texture on this piece is SUPER, top quality for the pocket. This could pass as a Tsumeb piece, in terms of overall crystal form and size, except that the matrix is wrong!
