This is a full size, please note the volume, superb quality crystals cluster of sharp, textbook form, lustrous and translucent mimetite. It has many options of display and it's in very good condition, with only minor wear, normal, since the piece is old. This locality has produced some of the best for the species. If we think well, only China has produced bigger crystals and all skeletal. Contacting on the base. A very fine rare piece.
