Item Description
An aesthetic ruby on marble small cabinet from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Four, lustrous, translucent, beautiful pigeons blood-red ruby crystals are jauntily set on the crest of the sculptural marble matrix. The large, striated, octahedron is 1.1 x 0.9 x 0.9 cm. A classic and excellent ruby specimen from Jegdalek. It displays well on both sides, without aid. Valued by Herb at $500, five or more years ago before the flow of these stopped. It is certainly worth more today.
