Hessite is one of those Holy Grail species (for thumbnail, rarity, or silver collectors in particular), but the problem is that the good ones were found in the mid-1800s in central Europe, and few existed and even fewer exist today outside of museums. This is a very important and highly competitive thumbnail example of the species with an unusually large central crystal flanked by more typically-formed, machined-sharp crystals to the left. It is a full thumbnail with a big crystal, and yet elegantly complex with subtle details at the same time, making for a special piece.
