I do not know what kind of stone this is but it is interesting. When I purchased this it was wrapped in 18K gold wire (much to my surprise!) which I did sell during the gold craze days. The shape is somewhat of a trapezoid. It has wonderful colorings with natural inclusions unique to this stone. The colors blend between neutral, tan, black and silver-ish grey. The top is cabochon smooth with rounded edges and a high polished shine. The back is flat and unpolished. It is in excellent condition. It weighs 22 grams It measures 1 7/8” high & long (at the 90 degree angle) with the narrower point being 1 1/8” wide BLURB: I ask that you pay within 3 days of the end of the auction (please and thank you) I ship within 1-2 days after payment has been received Please email any questions Please understand that I am just a lifetime collector who has collected way too much!
