This is really a fantastic thumbnail. The main crystal shows razor sharp termination and outstanding luster - the faces lloks like tiny mirrors! It complete all around and perched on a small base on matrix with a smaller crystal at the base. Looks great in various positions! Hard to photograph and much better in person.
