Description

That's a specimen you won't see very often. The specimens base is a fully crystallized plate of halite. All faces on the top-side are completely crystallized and show a fine waxy luster. But the special thing are the bizzare grown crystals of halite on top. My daughter said it looks like a skyline (and she's 7 years old). All crystals are completly undamaged! This is a real 360 degree specimen in very good condition. The usual specimens with some cubic crystals are commom, but this kind is very rare and fairly priced.
