A gorgeous radiating spray of fat crystals that get wider to the terminations! These crystals are emplaced aesthetically on a matrix of ocherous limonite. They are exceptionally glassy and translucent, to 5 cm in length with a real "sparkle" to them. An excellent piece, with unusual style for this material which usually consists of more jumbled crystals.
