SOLD

A very beautiful miniature with good red color, and an exceptionally large "ball" aggregate of crystals at the base, upon which is perched a smaller, translucent and party gemmy crystal. This is an excellent example from the finds of about 5 years ago which revolutionized what we could expect for the species, once much more rare. The find is now gone, and exceptional pieces like this are very uncommon on the market today. This one, for the sheer size, is just "juicier" than most!
