Item Description
A 1.1 x 0.7 x 0.7 cm parallel-growth pair of sharp, lustrous, translucent, classic pigeons blood-red ruby crystals is jauntily set atop the lustrous, granular, gray marble matrix. The upper edge of the large crystal is very gently bruised, but is only a modest detraction. A classic and excellent ruby small cabinet from Jegdalek. The supply of these dried up a few years ago with the ongoing conflict. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Red fluorescence on the ruby.
