Description

Although there was really lot of material from the locality I never saw even one more aesthetic piece! The sphere is 23mm across, complete and undamaged. It shows a very fine quality and excellent translucency without any cracks or inclusions. It is set on a single crystal of Epidote, which is sharp terminated and lustrous all around. There is no repair at all - this is the natural state of the piece - really fantastic, looks great in each angle!
