Miniature (4.5-7 cm)
Size: 
6.5 × 5.5 × 5 cm
Description

Gem crystals of glassy sphalerite on contrasting quartz matrix! Those all are very similar, but they are not! Paying attention to luster and gemminess, it's difficult to find pieces that have both and still have pristine condition. The piece has both top luster and crystals that need just a little light to show the clarity! The piece is in great condition, with only damage to marginal crystals and no ugly white spots due to streak! Free stading and with perfect balance!
