Item Description

A dramatic and very sculptural CABINET crust of these two relatively uncommon polymorphs of aluminum oxide. The septae and floor of the artistic boxwork crust are covered two pretty shades of botryoids, light pastel-green and sea-green. This striking piece is from a one-time find at this uncommon Chinese locality. Ex John Fender Collection # 1399.
