Description

The crystal is barely flawless - what looks like cracks on the photography is in fact the bottom of the piece! It is like cut glass with incredible luster, several steps and modifications. A wonderful crystal in amazing quality - this luster and clarity is out-standing; even for standards of Switzerland. The specimen is developed as floater - the bottom is healed.
