Description

Among the best kermesite miniature I have ever handled, this freestanding spray featured tens of thick, deep red crystals perched on matrix. Professionally trimmed before I purchased it, this specimen comes on an acrylic plinth and then it was glued on a plastic box for better protection. In addition to the good quality of the kermesite, there are a number of white crystals which in my opinion are valentinite, some of them are ever pierced by the kermesite.

A sweet European miniature of great quality and significance. 

Shipping of this one will be done by wrapping the box in the best possible way, as I did receive it a few years back. Based on experience, please account for some loose crystals to come off during shipping.
