Description

Compact polished pictorial viewing stone of rounded rectangular form, displaying contrasting gray-green, dark brown, cream, and black mineral formations. One face features broad dark mineral areas above irregular pale bands, while the reverse presents a prominent cream-colored central field crossed by fine dark branching lines suggestive of a misty landscape. The naturally occurring patterns are enhanced by a glossy polished finish, with a flattened ground underside for upright display.
