Description

Very nice and different miniature from the prohibited to mine localtiy!The garnet from there are so famous because of the phantoms and on this piece the phantoms are so saturated and diffuse, so the final result gives a tiger color!The sharpness is great and the satin luster is as good as it gets! Only peripheral attachment to matrix and no damage!
