Description

With the remarkable aesthetics of a crystallized snowball, this piece is truly pretty. Transparent lustrous crystals with diameters of up to 8mm are lively protruding from a common center - a piece of grey matrix that is totally covered in gypsum. Smaller gypsum crystals that are perched on the main crystals are adding much to the beauty of this piece. Very attractive indeed!
