An elegant piece with a spray of crystals shooting straight up from matrix of cleavelandite and lepidolite, stark and bright pink against white contrast. The cluster is complete and pristine all around. The crystals have great luster. AND, to cap it off, a shocking difference in style of the terminations even on adjacent crystals, makes the piece really stand out to the eye. It is good from either side, front or back. The terminations are perfect and undamaged, and for that matter the cluster itself is not repaired as you might expect such a freestanding piece to be. This kind of aesthetics is almost unheard of in specimens from here - you just do not see such things often. A choice piece, for its size range and style. ex Pala Intl company collection
