This piece is one of the largest fine plates we got out in good condition, with literally a hundred or more crystals of which only a very few small and insignificant ones have any damage. The large, thick, robust crystals on this piece are mostly over 1 cm and many are 1.7 cm, doubly-terminated. There must be at least 2 dozen large dt crystals, in fact. The habit here features bipyramidal crystals but with a blocky end-cap termination, very unsual. This specimen is not only super-rich, with large crystals, but it is overall visually impressive as well. Most larger pieces had too mcuh space on them and need to be trimmed down to be displayable with any eye impact. In person, this is, speaking of impact, quite a bit more impressive!
