An incredible miniature from the same pocket as #118 above - superlatives simply cannot describe the beauty of this piece with its ridiculous sparkly covering of microscopic quartz over the deep green pseudo. It is also pristine and complete on both sides, and sharp as you could wish (among the sharper malachite pseudos from anywhere, period). Rare material - I have seen only a half dozen pieces from this pocket over the years, and from context we think it came out in the 1970s sometime but that is just a guess. Pricey perhaps, but yes it is really that good, and is an award-level miniature specimen of a quality and style that seldom comes up
