A superb miniature with color impact and lots of crystals in a small volume...it has ROBUST, unusually blocky crystals that look pseudocubic since they end in blunt terminations instead of the more common spiky terminations you see elsewhere in the pocket. The piece shows well and the unusually fat and robust crystals are more colorful and translucent as a result of their size, I think. Most crystals are pristine - there is just a tiny bit of damage around the periphery, but of little consequence. A large crystal in the middle approaches 2 cm.
