Item Description
A 1.2 cm, classic pigeons blood-red ruby crystal is aesthetically set along the crest of the lustrous, granular marble matrix on this showy and excellent larger example from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The terminated, lustrous and translucent crystal glows, when backlit and lights up a rich red under UV light. Excellent material from Jegdalek, with very little coming out recently. Valued by Herb at $500, over 6 years ago.
