Description

Famous classic material from this most prominent locality. The specimen is etched, all faces are sharp and very glossy. The translucency is excellent - it needs only minor backlight to expose these wonderful colors. Hard to photograph - much better and more tri-dimensional in person. The camera couldn´t capture all tehse different shades of lavender and purple. Specimen is this size and quality should be high valued - Undamaged.
