Item Description

A sharp, pristine, 2.6 x 2.2 cm, navy-blue lazurite dodecahedron is deftly set on the marble matrix on this very fine example from the Type Locality. The crystal isolation on the sculptural matrix enhances this excellent piece. The base and back have been scribed to form a fine display piece.
