Only a very few specimens came out with this green-on-green look to them, with sharp bladed crystals literally popping up off malachite-colored matrix. The contrast in both color and texture is striking, making this miniature the most dramatic of the lot for my taste. These crystals are razor-sharp, to 1.3 cm in size. NO damage at all on the display face, only to a few crystals hanging off the back end and not facing out anyhow. In person, this is much more 3-dimensional than the photo appears.
