This is probably the single biggest robust (complete) crystal of the lot, a single large crystal with a shimmering, almost metallic looking skein on the surface. It REALLY leaps out at you, and is quite different in appearance from anything I've ever seen from here or from Tsumeb. Complete and pristine, this is one that is DEFINITELY worth a look in person if tempted from the pics.
