4.8cm high. I collect Canadian minerals, mostly miniatures (partly for budgetary reasons, but also because they tend to be more photogenic - don't judge, I've got lots of ugly rare stuff too) so of course I just couldn't pass this one up - especially for $5! When I bought it, I thought it looked like an umbrella tree, but when I had it on my photo table to take this picture, someone who was visiting me at the time said "wow, that looks like..." See child photo.
