The color os this material is exceptional - on same level as material from milpillas. All crystals are highly lustrous and razor sharp terminated. It is nearly impossible to capture the luster with the camera and also the tri-dimensional assemble is much better in person. A very eye-catching specimen in finest quality, no significant damages to report.
