Description

Dramatic miniature consisting of sharp elongated red mohrite crystals. Or at least, this is what the label reports.
If truly the case, this must be a reference specimen, as I have never seen it in such incredibly sharp appearance. I keep the identity of the specie and locality as questionable and at the price I paid myself.
