Item Description

An old-time, showy, floater ball of intergrown, lustrous, pretty royal-blue, azurite blades from the famous mines at Chessy. This classic is pristine and is nicely accented with one spot of malachite. The ancient Chessy mines were closed by the end of the 19th century and this is an outstanding example of a classic form and species.
