Description

Superb example of this rare material! It is very hard to find this quality of this material and this piece is very rich in ktenasite aggregates all over the matrix that also has gypsum! The color of the matrix offer an incredible contrast and the piece is beautiful apart from being just important and rare! This could even be a gypsum piece, for the rare inclusion of ktenasite inside! Damage free, a great piece!
