The thin tabular, sharp terminated, lustrous and freestanding huebnerite crystals are up to 21mm tall. The contrast with sparkling elongated and water-clear quartz crystals is really amazing. Huebnerite is in very best quality, quartz crystal also! A very attractive combination piece, no significant damages to report and much better in person.
