Ask Peter About This Item
Not only are the dramatic reds, and purples of this stone unique but the amazing shape is a one off as well. The carving has been done by artisans at Lightning Ridge who endeavour to produce an artwork that is manipulated by the mother stone that surrounds the gem in its natural state. In other words, the imperfections of the matrix have been removed skillfully with diamond tools to reveal a shape that nature itself allowed for. This item is a designers dream, in that the amazing shape stimulates a desire to create a masterpiece, whether it be a pendant, a brooch, or a bracelet. The potential of this piece is boundless.
