Description

Truly superb small miniature! A Sydney Opera House crystal group on a little matrix with great luster and the deepest peach orange color known for the material! The only imperfection is the margin which shows broken/contacted areas to the matrix. The main part of the piece is perfect! Please note that the mine is closed and those are the best representatives for the species, so get one now before the prices get astronomical!
