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, elongated spinel-twin is 1.0 cm. This sculptural piece looks like feathers or pennants flapping in the breeze. A fine thumbnail with dramatic two-sided visual appeal, rich color and excellent crystallization. Valued $400-500
