This specimen sits on its own as shown, but can be displayed any number of ways. It is very dramatic in person, showcasing a large single crystal atop, and contrasted nicely to the stair step crystallization on the left side. However, you can also rotate the piece up and 90 degrees to show the major crystal and the "tower stack" splaying out to the left and right. very NICE either way! The piece is pristine and damage free. The large crystal is 4 cm across and is remarkable for its clarity and quality. Also, for Naica, it is more cubic than most of the larger crystals in the new pocket which tend to have more octohedral modifications. This is one of my favorite, if not the most expensive by any means, of the small cabs in the lot.
