A rare Mexico find, these glistening orange spheres are considered among best of species, for sheer quality. Aesthetic 2.7 x 2.7 x 3.2 cm combination of two lustrous bright orange spheres of stellerite on a bed of orthoclase, adjoined by a translucent terminated quartz, makes this a refined large thumbnail specimen (or a small miniature).
