The five crystals are well set on the serpentine matrix covered with contrasting natrolite. The translucent crystals have classic sapphire-blue color and are partially gemmy. The two large crystals are pristine, with the others having modest periphery wear. Excellent material in this size range and has multiple fine display views. Valued $900-1000
