This is a translucent/transparent vertical stack of superb, razor-sharp, gem crystals growing one atop the other. The piece is even a floater, contacted or partially rehealed on back, and so technically complete all around. The quality, the clarity, is amazing...you do not expect to see it in a piece of this size, and so much at once on one piece. The piece is pristine save only for edge wear on only one edge, of a bottom crystal in the cluster. In person, this has a subtle color that is blue-green-lavender, and frankly seems to change depending on the lighting. In any case, it IS more colorful, and interesting in person, though the photos convey the geometry well.
