"Jewel" is the one word that immediately pops into my mind when I look at this miniature from the Ano Sn deposit. Completely gemmy, the luster and twinned form are outstanding. There is a small amount of edge wear along the top, but it in no way detracts from the striking aesthetics of this piece. Superb, simple, and striking. It is shocking for the location!
