The piece features a cluster of intersecting tabular crystals forming an open, fan-like structure. The growth pattern creates a strong three-dimensional presence, with the specimen displaying well from multiple angles.

Crystal faces show a natural, slightly etched surface typical of material from this locality, emphasizing the formation process over surface perfection. The subdued coloration and textured appearance contribute to its distinct and natural character.

Mounted on a narrow matrix base, the specimen presents in an upright orientation, enhancing its visual impact as a miniature display piece.

Location: Mina Llata, Cerro Huarihuayín, Miraflores, Huánuco

Material from Cerro Huarihuayín has appeared on the market only intermittently, and well-preserved miniature examples are not consistently available. As such, specimens from this locality are of particular interest to collectors focused on Peruvian occurrences.
