The transparent stone of good clarity and quality with natural inclusions and golden speckles. Provenance: From an old Austrian private collection and thence by descent within the same family to the present owner. Condition: Good condition with minor wear, few small nicks to seal base. Weight: 297 g Dimensions: Size 9.8 x 4.5 x 4.5 cm With a padded silk box and cover.
