Item Description
I think you can see clearly why this is such an EXCEPTIONAL example of this combo from Tongbei: the smoky, rather than being just translucent and/or dull, is SWISS QUALITY in transparency and luster. The result is that this specimen stands head and shoulders above 99% of the ones you see from here - really quite rare for what it is.
