A sharp miniature featuring a 3.5 x 1 x 1 cm crystal at one end that is super-lustrous and as glassy as these can possibly get, dominating the view as it rises above a cityscape of smaller crystals. The large crystal is pristine, and there are just a few trivial breaks (perhaps natural), on the smaller crystals. It is 3-dimensional and displays nicely, therefore, on both sides, all around. The termination is absolutely superb, as if it was faceted, and among the best I have seen on such a crystal.
