Item Description

Classic, excellent, old-time combination material from a historic French locale - Allevard, Rhone-Alpes.

A stunning 3.7 cm doubly terminated bowtie of terminated quartz crystals is a super and typical accessory. Ex Kay Robertson Collection # 7842 and acquired from the Lidstroms at the MSSC Show in 1975.
