This is a very aesthetic, freestanding cluster of several crystals, with an accent of stark black hausmannite as a hat, atop! The hausmannite draws the eye to the flat, fine termination. Complete all around, this is a really unusual piece, overall. The crystal features soft lemon-yellow color, translucency, and a good surface luster for this species.
