A truly outstanding sculptural specimen with excellent 3-dimensionality, curving in upon itself visually as the crystals lead the eye to the crevasse in the middle; and this in turn only serves to further emphasize the larger crystals (to 2.5 cm) hanging in the air above it! The large crystals atop are robust and totally different from Tsumeb in style, making this a very distinct specimen. Outstanding quality all around, this is a floater as well.
