Description

What a fantastic specimen - the gwindel is free-standing and 92mm from left to right hand side AND set on matrix, which is covered with nukeraous, sharp smoky crystals. All crystals and also the gwindel are in wonderful quality - water-clear, no cracks or inclusions and with faces of highest luster. A gwindel in this dimension and quality, unrepaired and without any significant damage on matrix could be valued for thousands on the common market. Luster, clarity and tri-dimensional assemble are even better in person!
