Superb, brilliantly-lustrous, unusually well-formed crystals of this rare nickel species. Note the quality of the facets, like garnet but made of metal! This is an EXCELLENT specimen for the size as most such specimens have nice crystals stuck in clunky matrix but this one displays nicely and the crystals are so 3-dimensional. 4.3 x 2.3 x 2 cm
