Item Description
A very elegant, unusually glassy and bright, gemmy cluster of bi-colored crystals showing very sculptural form. The blush pink terminations above the rich green bodies add sparkle and character. The cluster is complete all around save only a small contact on the back edge of the sidecar crystal to the left. That sidecar crystal goes in diagonally into the main cluster and helps hold the whole cluster together by its association, in fact. It is otherwise complete all around, and displays well from a number of angles. Classic old material from this famous locale. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base, for free. Ex Pala International Company/Bill Larson Collection. 30 grams. Valued at $1500.
