This unique Herkimer Diamond cluster is very clear and is naturally balanced, so it stands by itself even though each crystal is large and is headed at opposite 45 degree angles from the base. The larger crystal is slightly tabular (flat). It is elegant and adds artistic elevation to a display.
\It appears to be a "natural," this means the crystals haven't been reconstructed using epoxy to regain their original growth structure. I just got this at an estate sale, so I wasn't able to inquire its exact history. It's pristine, no dings to mention. There's one small crystal in the back that is missing (it left its indentation). It weighs 71 grams.
