A beautiful miniature composed of a number of stout crystals to 2.5 cm, intergrown like a sculpture. very aesthetic and 3-dimensional! It is pristine and complete all around, as well. Although not expensive, this is actually one of my favorites of the miniatures in the lot, just a stylish specimen.
