Description

Sharp, thin iron roses fomred a very tri-dimensional assemble on a light quartz crystal at the base, which is powdered with minor chlorite. A very aesthetic piece and a more uncommon combination - usually iron rose is on matrix, sometimes associated with rock crystal, but not on it. Very aesthetic and better in person.
