Description

One of the most famous localities and for sure one of the most relevant for flos ferri world-wide. And this specimen is remarkable! I would say 95% are just white. This one shows a dark brown layer on the upside of the branches. I don´t know if it is possible - and I would never try - to remove this layer; it gives a unique visual effect to the specimen and makes it look so tri-dimensional and so full of contrast like nearly no other piece I ever saw from Erzberg. And all branches are undamaged! A significant, exceptional piece!
