Description

Very fine thumbnail of this classic and very hard to find material!The piece is very gemmy crystal of great deep color and fine luster and disolved faces! It's terminated on all but one sides, where it was contated to the matrix of rhodonite. It can be dislayed in many ways! Very good quality and could cut a stone!
