Description

One of my personal favorites in this auction! I like the sculptural assemble, which looks like a cactus. A more uncommon piece from a very prominenet classic locality. All these tiny crystals are glossy and snowy white and although it looks nice on my images I have to note that it is even more impressive in person. No significant damages to report.
