Item Description
GEM, brilliantly lustrous garnets to 1.1 cm make this large matrix plate a showy piece, and with high quality crystals. The Jeffrey is officially closed, thoughs ome collecting continues there - but its heyday is certainly over and pieces like this, of classic 1 cm or so garnet crystals with clarity and luster, are uncommon already. This large plate has many crystals, and all are transparent and have the classic orange color. Valued $2000-2200 From an old collection
