This pocket produced many vertically dramatic specimens, it seems. After trimming off the clunky matrix at the base, this one really has ended up one of my favorites, and looks like a tree with dramatic, robust crown atop a stalk of robust crystals. The large crystals atop are very 3-D, and terminated all around. It is stunning, in person.
