Description

Famous alpine classic! The rose is free-standin and complete all around. At the left hand side you can see an etched, inter-grown rock crystal, the matrix is a well formed cluster of adularia crystals. The faces of the iron rose are all highly lustrous - quality on very high level. Hard to photograph and much better in person.
