This one features a particularly large rosette of beautiful, rich blue crystals perched on a small quartz crystal point as a natural pedestal in such a way as to resemble the leaves of an artichoke, radiating in several directions! There is a very small bit of wear on the left side of the upright cluster of crysatls, but it does not detract from the display face and given teh size and context of the rarity here, it simply doesn't matter much. The deep blue color is classic, and the tips are gemmy enough to transmit light (highly unusual!).
