Item Description
An outstanding old-time combination miniature with fabulous form from this famous Swiss area. Splendent, sharp, magnetite octahedrons to 4 mm surround a surreal combination crystal cluster. Lustrous, dark wine-red, opposing rutile blades are fantastically nested on metallic bright stacked hematite plates! The 5 lines of superb printing on the 1.7 cm label on the back indicates this piece was part of a collection, that was auctioned in 1908! Ex Howard Belsky Collection. Superb old-time material.
