Description

An excellent miniature of this very famous material,one of the few important finds of the last years!This find is considered the best for the species and certainly a future classic!This beautiful piece hosts a lustrous crystal of apple green color,reaching 1.7 cm across!The overall appearance is complemented by the gem clear quartz points which form a crown over the crystal!Check carefully and you will find a cute Japanese law twin between them!The only damage is some contacting near the bottom of the crystal,something normal when you have small quartz crystals.The piece is not just an example of the material,it's a very good representative at this size!
