A very 3-dimensional specimen with great aesthetics from any angle because it resembles a flowing vine with SHARP copper crystals shooting off every which way. These crystals measure to 3 cm and are of at least 3 different habits, plus combinations of those habits. I see at least one large twin atop, as well. The branching aesthetics of this piece are really elegant, and its a very much mor ebeautiful specimen in person than it appears here. The patina, also, has a bright brassy hluster to it that is highly desirable. Comes with custom lucite display base.
