Description

This is a 360° specimen, the assemble looks like a tree. The crystals show a sharp terminated arrow-head habit, they are snowy white and their edges are glossy. Although it looks nice on the photos it is really much more tri-dimensional in person. Looks great in various positions, no significant damages to report.
