Item Description
Lustrous, rich golden-yellow, modified hoppered octahedrons and spinel-twins form this aesthetic crystal cluster from a NEW, 2011 find in the famous Motherlode District (mine name will be disclosed in 2013). The striking, sharp, hoppered octo at the top is 7 mm. This sculptural curved piece looks like a seahorse, with the octo being an ear. A fine miniature with dramatic two-sided visual appeal, rich color and excellent crystallization. Valued $900.
