Item Description

A beautiful, historic old classic of a strikingly chatoyant, banded malachite nodule with a bit of attached ironstone matrix from the Urals. The color and shimmer are first class. One face has been slabbed and polished to highlight the superb chatoyancy. This is dense, hefty cutter-grade material at 145 grams. It comes with a very faded old label, dating the piece to Imperial Russia. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
