    This item's owner is actively responding to offers, usually within 3 days. Most owners in this category are still actively buying, and therefore interested only in offers where they can net (after our 10% fee) an amount sufficiently above today's market value. Owners in this category seldom counter-offer, and will usually simply reject offers placed at current auction values or lower.

    Description

    RAINBOW GEMSTONE BOX: STONES FROM AROUND THE WORLD
    Handcrafted in Italy
    Stone Source: Worldwide

    This outstanding tessellated box has been crafted by a master Italian lapidarist whose skill is such that there are virtually no gaps in the inlay work. Each semi-precious piece has been painstakingly polished and fitted exactly into place. An explosion of color has been created using a vast array of stones from around the world: Amazonite from Russia, Rhodochrosite from Argentina, Malachite from Congo, Picture Jasper from Utah, Fossil Stromatolite from Bolivia, Lapis from Afghanistan, Amethyst from Brazil, Tiger's Eye from South Africa, Sodalite from Namibia, Labradorite from Madagascar and Tiger Iron from Australia, as well as numerous Jaspers, Onyx, Granites and Rhyolites. In excellent condition, this attractive box is finished with gold plated brass fittings and a Black Onyx interior.
    Overall Measurements: 6.0x 4.37 x 1.57 inches (15.24 x 11.1 x 3.99 cm)
    Offered at no reserve.
