A dramatic specimen that is, overall, festooned with the sharpest crystals around, improbably piled one atop another and sticking out every which way. It is either jumbly or amazing, depending on your perspective of such things I suppose. Personally I think it has so much relief, and is so balanced overall, that it is strikingly NOT jumbly but rather shows off the individual crystals superbly. It is complete all around the edges and in a showcase catches reflections from many angles, off the chatoyant malachite. One of my personal favorites in this lot!
