Condition: Excellent vintage/pre-owned condition. Smooth surfaces with no chips, cracks, or visible repairs. Natural internal growth patterns or slight shifts in transparency are characteristic of authentic mineral carvings. Display: Freestanding and balanced. An excellent piece for wildlife art collectors, folk art enthusiasts, or gemstone display cases.
