Description

This is a fine Italian oldtimer, featuring several multifaced crystals of hessonite on matrix. They are very well defined, mirror bright and sharp edged. The smaller crystals are orange-brown and transparent, the larger ones are dark brown and only transparent with transmitted light. Mostly perfect but one imperfection. Anyway a super piece.
