description:
An excellent large cabinet display quality example for this Italian classic. The top side of this 15.0 x 6.5 x 5.5 cm matrix is richly scattered with sparkling green crystal groupings of demantoid measuring to 1.4 cm across. Contacting present in a couple of areas, still I think in very fine condition. Sits nicely by itself for display. Shipping weight: 2.32 pounds. Ex Renaud Vochten collection.
