Item Description
These are Swiss classics utterly recognizable and distinct from anythign else gemmy, brilliant red rutile crystals grown epitaxially (oriented) on the surface of lustrous, metallic hematite blades. This cute miniature is an elegant example of the classic style of such specimens, and very 3-dimensional overall. Valued $400
