Item Description
Supremely iridescent, partially gemmy, magenta erythrite blades to 1.3 cm fully cover the matrix in jackstraw fashion on this showy and excellent miniature from from the famous Bou Azzer District of Morocco. Nearly pristine, except for the very modest periphery wear and one broken blade. This is a fine and rich example from the well-known 1960s finds at this famous cobalt mining district.
