This remarkable specimen with intense color is said to have come out in the early 1800s, and resided in the collection of mega-industrialist Andrew Carnegie. It was housed in his family estate in upstate New York, where he kept a private collection not known to the community until his grand-daughter sold it in 1984 to dealer Gary Hansen. After trimming and cleaning, while carefully preserving his hand-painted number in the back, this piece has a stunning 3-dimensionality to it and is pristine, which is incredible given the size. It has glassy crystals of total transparency, to 2 cm in size. The piece is much more impressive in person!
