Item Description
A highly sculptural, leaf-like thumbnail gold from Papua New Guinea. One side of the bright yellow leaf is comprised of nifty, compressed spinel-twins, while the other side has a more melted look. Specimens are seldom available from this remote locale in high mountains. Probably an older piece from the 1980s or 90s.
