This is from a small discovery end of the 90ties. The crystals show sharp edges and faces - all on highest possible; mirror-like luster! The contrast and the assemble is fantastic. The main crystal is 45 x 36 mm in diameter, all faces show a wonderful texture and the piece is much better in person. Undamaged!
