A sharp miniature featuring robust, fat cubanite crystals to 1.5 cm, smartly perched on calcite, over matrix. Most such crystals are buried in the matrix, and only occasionally do you see them on calcite as opposed to on an ugly rock matrix. Although there is some minor edge wear to this relatively soft, very exceptionally freestanding crystal, it is nevertheless quite displayable and one of the more aesthetic and pretty pieces in this size range that I have seen from here. Very few of any quality turn up, nowadays. Joe Budd photos
