Item Description
The aesthetics and quality of this Tanzania carving are outstanding. This exceptional piece is expertly carved from ONE piece of layered rock! The beautiful pigeons blood-red rose bud is carved from ruby and is artistically framed by veined green zoisite leaves. The black matrix is a stellar contrast to the red and green. The ruby fluoresces cherry-red. This would make a fantastic belated Mother's Day present, hint hint. Valued at $700-800.
